Abstract

In this paper, we discuss some numerical schemes for an upscaled (core scale) model describing the transport, precipitation and dissolution of solutes in a porous medium. We consider two weak formulations, conformal and mixed. We discuss the time discretization in both formulations and prove the convergence of the resulting schemes. A numerical study is presented for the mixed formulation.
