Understanding Mineral Dissolution in Porous Media Coupled With Single- and Multi-phase Flows: A Coordinated Experimental and Numerical Study

The increasing buildup of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere contributes to a wide range of environmental, social, and economic problems. One viable way to mitigate CO2 emission is through an operation called carbon capture and sequestration (CCS). In CCS, CO2 is captured from power plants, and injected into underground saline aquifers.…
