Solutal convection in porous media: Comparison between boundary conditions of constant concentration and constant flux

We numerically examine solutal convection in porous media, driven by the dissolution of carbon dioxide (CO[subscript 2]) into water—an effective mechanism for CO[subscript 2] storage in saline aquifers. Dissolution is associated with slow diffusion of free-phase CO[subscript 2] into the underlying a...
