Abstract Modeling thermodynamic equilibrium of complex nonlinear chemical systems with the most used Newton‐Raphson method can lead to nonconvergence. From mathematical properties set equations, a chemically permitted interval is defined. By imposing this interval, robustness increased at low computing time cost. The new method, positive continuous fraction, does not depend on first derivative objective function find solution. A algorithm thus built by association very robust fast and...
In numerical codes for reactive transport modeling, systems of nonlinear chemical equations are often solved through the Newton Raphson method (NR). NR is an iterative procedure that results in a sequential solution linear systems. The algorithm known its effectiveness vicinity but also lack robustness otherwise. Therefore, inaccurate initial conditions can lead to non‐convergence or excessive numbers iterations, which significantly increase computational cost. this work, we show very...
In multispecies electrolyte solutions, each individual species can migrate according to its specific ionic properties. This process is called electrochemical migration or electro-diffusion and well-described by the Nernst–Planck equation. The common approach for solving corresponding mathematical system based on null current (NC) assumption, which expresses electric potential in terms of charges concentrations chemical components. assumption has a great advantage as it eliminates from...
Abstract The chemical parameters used in reactive transport models are not known accurately due to the complexity and heterogeneous conditions of a real domain. development an efficient algorithm order estimate using Monte‐Carlo method is presented. By fitting results obtained from model with experimental curves various conditions, problem estimation converted into minimization problem. methods very robust for optimization highly nonlinear mathematical describing transport. It involves...
Abstract This article concerns reactive transport in porous media with an emphasis on the optimization of chemical parameters. The Cadmium (Cd) and tributyltin (TBT) column experiments were used as test cases. model is described by a set reactions equilibrium constants main adjustable As such problem highly nonlinear can have multiple minima, global parameter estimation methods are more suitable than local gradient‐based methods. focuses application genetic algorithm (GA) estimating...
Abstract Reactive transport softwares are today one of the cornerstones environmental research. They contain multiphysics with very complex algorithms, including flow, transport, chemical, and sometimes heat mechanical, and/or biological algorithms. Because this complexity, some parts these algorithms still have not been sufficiently studied. In work, we focus on for activity correction, a specific subset equilibrium chemistry We show that most used algorithm (the inner fixed‐point...
