Mathematical Simulation of Dissolution of Rocks in the Course of Karsting Processes

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

A mathematical model of dissolution of rocks has been developed with regard for the specifics of the dissolution processes in the porous space of rocks. The factors determined by this specificity have been revealed. The influence of the capacitive properties of rocks changing in the course of the dissolution process has been studied. An analytical solution of the karst problem is constructed. An expression is obtained for the rate of the progress of the karsting process.
