Understanding and modelling reactive transport in porous media is fundamental to predicting field-scale biogeochemical reactions, which play a key role in current environmental issues such as water resources management and carbon dioxide sequestration. A major scientific challenge is to capture the dynamics of coupled processes of solute mixing and chemical reactions in heterogeneous porous media across multiple spatial scales. Funded under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie programme, the ChemicalWalks project will address this by coupling for the first time the lamella theory of mixing and the chemical model of continuous-time random walks for reaction kinetics under incomplete mixing.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No 838426
