Two-phase transport in a cemented waste package considering spatio-temporal evolution of chemical conditions

Abstract The long-term evolution of cemented waste packages is governed by (bio)chemical reactions between waste, cement, and barrier materials, and by transport processes inside the waste package and through openings in the waste package hull. Inside a waste package, gases can be generated by pH-de...
