Upon injection into a reservoir, CO2 migrates and interacts with the host rock and pore water
(Benson et al. 2005, 2012). Supercritical or gaseous CO2 dissolves in the pore aqueous …

We study the effect of brine composition on CO 2 dissolution in brine. In particular, we
address the effect of brine composition on the onset of convection through experiments …

The modelling of natural convection in porous media is receiving increased interest due to
its significance in environmental and engineering problems. State-of-the-art simulations are …

This paper presents experimental and theoretical studies of the onset of natural convection
induced by the dissolution of carbon dioxide-nitrogen (CO 2-N 2) mixtures into brine. Using …

Direct numerical simulations (DNS) indicate that at large values of the Rayleigh number (Ra)
convection in porous media self-organizes into narrowly-spaced columnar flows, with more …

We briefly review the investigations of pattern formation and transport properties of Rayleigh-
Darcy convection (or the Elder Problem), including laboratory experiments, theoretical …

Geological carbon storage (GCS) has the potential to reduce anthro-pogenic CO 2
emissions, if large volumes can be injected. Storage capacity islimited by regional pressure …

Motivated by Malkus' marginally stable boundary layer theory, we design an optimization
problem to predict the heat transport through a two-dimensional, horizontal porous layer …
