Dissolution hotspots in fractures
The injection of reactive fluid into fractured reservoirs is relevant to many subsurface
processes. During injection, fracture dissolution forms various patterns. Despite its …

[HTML][HTML] Complementary classifications of aeolian dunes based on morphology, dynamics, and fluid mechanics
Dunes form where winds blow over a bed of mobile sediment grains–conditions that are
common in our solar system. On Earth, dunes abound in arid continental interiors and along …

On the role of gravity in dissolving horizontal fractures
Fractures are ubiquitous in geological systems. As reactive fluid flow through a fracture,
dissolution of the fracture walls may occur, thus altering the fracture aperture and increasing …

Dissolution regimes of a horizontal channel in a gravity field
Buoyancy-driven dissolution of the solid phase is common in natural processes and
subsurface applications, such as geomorphology, solution mining, and geological CO 2 …

Dissolution-driven propulsion of floating solids
We show that unconstrained asymmetric dissolving solids floating in a fluid can move
rectilinearly as a result of attached density currents which occur along their inclined …

Topography generation by melting and freezing in a turbulent shear flow
We report an idealized numerical study of a melting and freezing solid adjacent to a
turbulent, buoyancy-affected shear flow, in order to improve our understanding of …

Streamwise dissolution patterns created by a flowing water film
The dissolution of rocks by rainfall commonly generates streamwise parallel channels, yet
the occurrence of these natural patterns remains to be understood. Here, we report the …

Solutal convection instability caused by dissolution
When a soluble solid body is suddenly put in contact with water, a convection flow can be
generated. Once the fluid layer charged into solute is sufficiently dense, this layer becomes …

Reactive-infiltration instability in a Hele-Shaw cell influenced by initial aperture and flow rate
Reactive-infiltration instability is an inherent nature of a solid dissolution process in a rock
fracture. This instability expands the aperture (spacing) of the fracture inhomogeneously and …
