contents In this work, we investigate a model describing flow through porous media with permeability heterogeneity, combining an advection-reaction-diffusion equation for solute concentration with an unsteady Darcy-Brinkman equation with Korteweg stresses in the presence of external body forces for the flow field. Such models are appropriate in describing flows in fractured karst reservoirs, mineral wool, industrial foam, coastal mud, etc. These equations are coupled with Neumann boundary conditions for the solute concentration and no-flow conditions for the fluid velocity. For a broad class of initial data, we proved the existence of weak solutions. In the presence of a second-order nonlinear reaction, we show that the long-time behaviour of the solution depends on the initial concentration \(C_0\). More precisely, the solution exists for all time if \(0\leq C_0\leq 1\), and blows up at finite time if $C_0>1$. Furthermore, the uniqueness of the solution is proved for a two-dimensional domain. Finally, numerical simulations based on the finite element method have been presented that illustrate non-negativity of the concentration, long-time decay, and finite-time blow-up in agreement with theoretical estimates.
