Residual trapping, solubility trapping and capillary pinning complement each other to limit CO[subscript 2] migration in deep saline aquifers

We derive a theoretical model for the post-injection migration of a CO[subscript 2] gravity current in a confined, sloping aquifer under the influence of residual trapping, solubility trapping, and capillary pinning. The resulting model consists of two coupled partial differential equations that des...
