A mathematical model of the footprint of the CO[subscript 2] plume during and after injection in deep saline aquifer systems

We present a sharp-interface mathematical model of CO[subscript 2] migration in saline aquifers, which accounts for gravity override, capillary trapping, natural groundwater flow, and the shape of the plume during the injection period. The model leads to a nonlinear advection-diffusion equation, whe...
