Porosity, tortuosity, specific surface area (SSA), and permeability are four key parameters of reactive transport modeling in sandstone, which are important for understanding solute transport and geochemical reaction processes in sandstone aquifers. These four parameters reflect the characteristics of pore structure of sandstone from different perspectives, and the traditional empirical formula…
This paper provides a new open-source software, named BioReactPy, for simulation of microbial-mediated coupled processes of flow and reactive transport in porous media. The software is based on the micro-continuum approach, and geochemistry is handled in a fully coupled manner with biomass-nutrient growth treated with Monod equation in a single integrated framework, without dependencies on thir…
