A model-oriented benchmark problem for CO2 storage

Simulation of CO2 storage in geological formations inherently involves decisions concerning relevant physics, upscaling, and numerical modeling. We propose a benchmark study designed to assess the impact of these necessary choices, within the context of storage in a conceptually simple geological fo...

Description
Summary:Simulation of CO2 storage in geological formations inherently involves decisions concerning relevant physics, upscaling, and numerical modeling. We propose a benchmark study designed to assess the impact of these necessary choices, within the context of storage in a conceptually simple geological formation. The benchmark asks for answers to relevant questions regarding the ultimate fate of the injected CO2 plume.
