Critical Dynamics of Gravito-Convective Mixing in Geological Carbon Sequestration

When CO(2) is injected in saline aquifers, dissolution causes a local increase in brine density that can cause Rayleigh-Taylor-type gravitational instabilities. Depending on the Rayleigh number, density-driven flow may mix dissolved CO(2) throughout the aquifer at fast advective time-scales through...
