Dissolved CO2 stabilizes dissolution front and increases breakthrough porosity of natural porous materials
Yi Yang, Stefan Bruns, Susan Stipp +1
When reactive fluids flow through a dissolving porous medium, conductive channels form, leading to fluid breakthrough. This phenomenon is important in geologic carbon storage, wher…

Reactive infiltration instability amplifies the difference between geometric and reactive surface areas in natural porous materials
Yi Yang, Stefan Bruns, Susan Stipp +1
Reactive infiltration instability (RII) drives the development of many natural and engineered flow systems. These are encountered e.g. in hydraulic fracturing, geologic carbon stor…

Temporal pattern of entropy production induced by reactive infiltration instability in natural porous media
Yi Yang, Stefan Bruns, Susan Stipp +1
The tendency of irreversible processes to generate entropy is the ultimate driving force for the evolution of nature. In engineering, entropy production is often used as a measure…
