Abstract

In the previous studies, mathematical analyses were conducted to establish a theoretical criterion, which is used to judge whether or not a planar chemical-dissolution front can become unstable during its propagation in the fluid-saturated porous medium (Chadam et al. 1986, 1988; Zhao et al. 2008a, 2009).
