Strategically Coupled Inertial Flow and Interface Evolution Model for Cavern Development by Dissolution Mining

Shape control is important for large-scale underground caverns developed by dissolution mining; however, it is greatly complicated by turbulent brine flow and natural and forced convection. An improved model for simulating dissolution mining of large caverns over long injection periods is presented....
