Simulation of the impregnation in the porous media by the Self- organized Gradient Percolation method

Abstract: Many processes can correspond to reactive impregnation in porous solids. These processes are usually numerically computed by classical methods like finite element method, finite volume method, etc. The disadvantage of these methods remains in the computational time. The convergence and accuracy require a small step-time and a small mesh size, which is expensive in computational time and can induce a spurious oscillation. In order to avoid this problem, we propose a Self-organized Gradient Percolation algorithm. This method permits to reduce the CPU time drastically.
