Abstract

Two-dimensional glass model experiments are used to investigate the residual trapping mechanism of CO2 stored in saline aquifers. For this purpose, two proxy fluids are chosen to simulate the CO2-brine behavior under reservoir conditions. The first set of experiments is carried out [...]

Abstract

This work describes a computational strategy, based on a stabilised finite element method, to simulate bifluid flow with capillary effects in a fibrous microstructure. In this framework, triple junction equilibrium is imposed as a natural condition in the weak formulation of the [...]
