Reactive Transport in Evolving Porous Media (2019, background): “…et al. 2006; Hesse et al. 2013; Walsh et al. 2013), while in other cases, such as karst development, dissolution fronts become unstable, leading to the development of fingering or wormholing (Hoefner and Fogler 1988; Daccord et al. 1989; Steefel and Lasaga 1990; Golfier et al. 2002).”
Parallel simulation of wormhole propagation with the Darcy-Brinkman-Forchheimer framework (2015, methodology): “A two-scale model, averaged model or continuum model [28-30] can describe the dissolution patterns based on both the Darcy scale and pore scale.”
Dynamic Pore‐Scale Dissolution by CO2‐Saturated Brine in Carbonates: Impact of Homogeneous Versus Fractured Versus Vuggy Pore Structure (2020, background): “Golfier et al. (2002) provided the Pe‐Da distribution diagram for several dissolution patterns and found that uniform dissolution with the smaller the Damköhler number.”
Experimental Characterization of Porosity Structure and Transport Property Changes in Limestone Undergoing Different Dissolution Regimes (2014, background): “For instance, leading mechanisms such as pore coalescence (Schechter and Gidley 1969) and formation of highly conductive flow channels (Daccord et al. 1993; Golfier et al. 2002; Renard et al. 1998) involve a set of complex feedback effects.”
