Kinetic approach for modeling salt precipitation in porous-media

Examination Thesis from the year 2014 in the subject Environmental Sciences grade: 13 University of Stuttgart (Institute fur Wasserbau) course: Multiphase modeling language: English abstract: Sail salinization had been an age old problem happening over decades and causing a serious concern to the environment. In this research for the first time a model had been developed to showcase the salt precipitation process within the porous medium using a Kinematic approach. Based over the defined formula several parameter estimates were made and the results were analyzed accordingly.In future the model will be further developed with the implementation with a free flow domain considering real time parameters such as wind velocity humidity shear forces etc.Apart from that the features of heterogeneities and other features to relate to a real life problem will be done.
