Abstract
⺠We model the formation of salt welds using the Navier-Stokes equations. ⺠Salt evacuation is enhanced by increased driving forces and decreased viscosity. ⺠Increasing boundary drag inhibits complete salt evacuation. ⺠Wall rock translation can inhibit or enhance weld formation. ⺠Multi-layered evaporites may be compositionally modified during evacuation.
