Contribution of Pore-Scale Approach to Macroscale Geofluids Modelling in Porous Media

Solute transport and reaction in porous electrodes at high Schmidt numbers

“…Indeed, it is the distribution and mixing mechanisms of the solute that regulate the mass transport of active species to the solid inner surfaces of the porous medium where the reactions occur. In this sense, pore-scale simulations have recently attracted attention as tools for the development of coupled transport formulations with reactive mechanisms, since they can take into account the effect of the microstructure (Alhashmi, Blunt & Bijeljic 2016;Romano et al 2019). The prominent role of the microstructure in spreading active species carried by a liquid solution has been quantified in various studies (Berkowitz & Scher 1995;Icardi et al 2014;Maggiolo, Picano & Guarnieri 2016;Dentz, Icardi & Hidalgo 2018).…”
