Abstract
Disclosed are methods of modeling stimulation treatments, such as designing matrix treatments for subterranean formations penetrated by a wellbore, to enhance hydrocarbon recovery. The modeling methods describe the growth rate and the structure of the dissolution pattern formed due to the injection of a treatment fluid in a porous medium, based on calculating the length scales for dominant transport mechanism(s) and reaction mechanism(s) in the direction of flow land the direction transverse to flow l. Methods of the invention may further include introducing a treatment fluid into the formation, and treating the formation.
