Abstract

We investigate the fast-reaction asymptotics for a one-dimensional reaction-diffusion (RD) system describing the penetration of the carbonation reaction in concrete. The technique of matched-asymptotic expansions is used to show that the RD system leads to two distinct classes of limiting sharp-interface models. We explore three conceptually different diffusion regimes for the effective diffusivities of the driving chemical species. These result in one-phase and two-phase generalised Stefan moving-boundary problems with a nonstandard two-scale (micro-macro) moving-boundary problem – the main result of the paper
