The past two decades of research on Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) seem to have
finally become fruitful as global leaders and energy-intensive industries are cooperating to …

The problem of convection in a fluid-saturated porous medium is reviewed with a focus on
'vigorous' convective flow, when the driving buoyancy forces are large relative to any …

We numerically examine solutal convection in porous media, driven by the dissolution of
carbon dioxide (CO 2) into water—an effective mechanism for CO 2 storage in saline …

Solutal convection in porous media is thought to be controlled by the molecular Rayleigh
number, R am, the ratio of the buoyant driving force over diffusive dissipation. The mass flux …

The scalings of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability are studied numerically for porous media
flows when the denser fluid lying on top of the less dense one is also much more viscous …

Chemical reactions can interplay with hydrodynamic flows to generate chemo-hydrodynamic
instabilities affecting the spatio-temporal evolution of the concentration of the chemicals. We …

Dissolution trap** is one of the primary mechanisms of carbon dioxide (CO2) storage in
deep saline aquifers. The determination of the realized rates of CO2 dissolution requires an …

We present the first experiments of dissolution-driven convection of carbon dioxide (CO 2) in
a confined brine-saturated porous medium at high pressures. We designed an alternative …

We examine experimentally the influence of non-Darcy effects on convective dissolution in
Hele-Shaw cells. We focus on buoyancy-driven convection, where the flow is controlled by …

CO 2 dissolution in saline water during aquifer sequestration causes natural convection
because of the density difference between CO 2-saturated brine and native brine. In this …
