| Title: |
Moving Boundary
Problems in Porous Media |
Abstract
|
|
We
examine processes in porous media with moving boundaries at the
pore-scale such
as deposition, biofilm growth and crystal dissolution and
precipitation. All
these processes may change the pore geometry. Our aim is to derive,
using the
pore-scale free boundary problem, upscaled effective equations on the
Darcy
scale via a homogenization procedure.
We
discuss rigorous and formal results obtained in recent years, open
problems,
and the numerical validation of the upscaled models.
