Physics and Chemistry of Dissolution on Subaerialy Exposed Soluble Rocks by Flowing Water Films

The basic process active in the formation of subaerial features on karst rocks is chemical dissolution of limestone or gypsum by water films flowing on the rock surface. The dissolution rates of limestone and gypsum into thin films of water in laminar flow are given by F = α(ceq-c), where (ceq-c) is...
