contents In this paper we introduce a new mathematical model describing the erosion process caused in carbonate stones by the dissolution of the porous matrix due to the penetration of carbonic acid present in the environment. Such model is formulated as nonlinear reaction-transport system in porous media governed by Darcy flow. We propose a numerical algorithm based on finite difference approximation that relies on level-set method at the boundaries and we show numerical tests that are in accordance with the literature in terms of the advancement of the erosion front.
