Effective dispersion coefficients for the upscaling of pore-scale mixing and reaction

We upscale reactive mixing using effective dispersion coefficients to capture the combined effect of pore-scale heterogeneity and molecular diffusion on the evolution of the mixing interface between two initially segregated dissolved species. Effective dispersion coefficients are defined in terms of...
