    Abstract
    Reactive flow through porous media is a phenomenon of high importance in various study subjects i.e. groundwater, mining, geology, and petroleum reservoirs. In petroleum engineering, a related topic to this phenomenon is the dissolution of the rock matrix due to acidizing. Near_wellbore carbonate rock acidizing has been used for decades in the petroleum industry to enhance the productivity of the well. Optimal injection rate is a key question in such operations. Various models have been used to simulate reactive flow in porous media many of which are continuum-scale that face significant uncertainty regarding the pore-scale nature of the flow, mass transfer, reaction, and subsequent changes...
