Ore-forming and geoenviromental systems commonly involve coupled fluid flowand chemical reaction processes.
The advanced numerical methods and computational modeling have become indispensable tools for simulating such processes in recent years. This enables many hitherto unsolvable geoscience problems to be addressed
using numerical methods and computational modeling approaches. For example, computational modeling has
been successfully used to solve ore-forming and mine site contamination/remediation problems, in which
fluid flow and geochemical processes play important roles in the controlling dynamic mechanisms. The main
purpose of this paper is to present a generalized overview of: (1) the various classes and models associated
with fluid flow/chemically reacting systems in order to highlight possible opportunities and developments for
the future; (2) some more general issues that need attention in the development of computational models
and codes for simulating ore-forming and geoenviromental systems; (3) the related progresses achieved on
the geochemical modeling over the past 50 years or so; (4) the general methodology for modeling of oreforming
and geoenvironmental systems; and (5) the future development directions associated with modeling
of ore-forming and geoenviromental systems.
