Species Transport in porous media - swelling

Hello everyone!

I have to model a coupled HMC model in a porous media using COMSOL 4.

The (H) part is the transport of water (Darcy) and of ions in the porous medium
The (C) part is dissolution and precipitation (crystallization) of a mineral in the porous medium (precipitation decreases the number of the ions, while dissolution increases the number of the ions)
The (M) part is the swelling of the medium due to dissolution and precipitation.

Does anybody has experience in modelling such a problem?

I thought of using 'poroelasticity' physics with 'species transport in porous media'. Though, I was wondering if 'darcy's law' physics is also necessary in this problem, once in the 'poroelasticity' physics one can define a 'darcy's law material model'.

Thank you everybody very much in advance

Kostas
