A pore-scale lattice Boltzmann model for solute transport coupled with heterogeneous surface reactions and mineral dissolution

In this paper, we propose a pore-scale lattice Boltzmann model to simulate fluid flow coupled with heterogeneous surface reactions and mineral dissolution. The primary innovation lies in the transformation of surface reactions, originally treated as a boundary condition, into a volume-source term through dimensional augmentation within the framework of sharp liquid–solid interfaces. This significantly simplifies the implementation, particularly …
