Abstract The usability of enzymatically induced calcium carbonate precipitation (EICP) as a method for altering porous media properties, soil stabilization, or biocementation depends on our ability to predict the spatial distribution of the precipitated calcium carbonate in porous media. While current REV-scale models can reproduce the main features of laboratory experiments, they neglect effects like the formation of preferential flow paths and the appearance of multiple polymorphs of calcium carbonate with differing properties. We show that extending an existing EICP model by the conceptual assumption of a mobile precipitate, amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC), allows for the formation of preferential flow paths when the initial porosity is heterogeneous. We apply sensitivity analysis to understand the influence of characteristic parameters of ACC that are uncertain or unknown, and compare two model variations based on different formulations of the ACC detachment term to analyze the plausibility of our hypothesis. An arbitrary polynomial chaos (aPC) surrogate model is trained based on the full model and used to reduce the computational cost of this study.
