Lab 10. Analysis of Clogging

Reactions on solid surfaces can create material of sufficient thickness to clog pores or conduits.  The clogging process changes the fluid flow, which alters the reaction that causes clogging.  As a result, there is an important feedback between clogging and flow.

There are several ways to simulate clogging of a pore due to precipitation and one of them involves using a moving mesh.  Review this example that explains how this analysis works.  Then set up your own model that includes a surface reaction with clogging.  Alternatively, you can use the same approach to simulate dissolution.  

Develop your model by following the descriptions in this example.  Describe the factors affecting precipitation and/or dissolution by showing some examples of the results.  Compile the results as captioned images on 1 page and upload.  The question for the quiz has an upload feature.
