Design of a 2-D Cementation Experiment in Porous Medium Using Numerical Simulation
International audienceThe validation and qualification of reactive transport simulation tools has motivated the design and simulation, at a laboratory scale, of an experiment in which flow, advective/dispersive transport of solutes and physicochemical transformation affecting a porous medium are strongly coupled. Several possible experimental setups (or designs) have been evaluated using numerical simulation. The selected experimental design involves the successive precipitation and perforation of a clogging obstacle composed of calcium oxalate. Before an experiment can actually be conducted, this problem is proposed as a numerical benchmark for reactive transport codes and simulated using the coupled reactive transport code Hytec (CIG-École des mines, France)
