Measurements and models of reactive transport in geological media

Brian Berkowitz,  Ishai Dror,  Scott K. Hansen,  Harvey Scher, 
  • Pages: 930-986
  • First Published: 23 August 2016
Key Points

  • Laboratory and field scale studies integrated with reactive transport models using continuum and particle tracking approaches are analyzed
  • Small-scale velocity and concentration fluctuations induce subtle effects on transport scales that are accounted for in probabilistic models
  • Particle tracking models the complex dynamics of geochemical reactions with advective-dispersive-diffusive transport in heterogeneous media
