 on Dioxide Sequestration - Duncan Hewitt

DESCRIPTION:Carbon dioxide sequestration (or Carbon Capture and Storage: C
 CS) has been widely discussed as a means of reducing emissions of CO_2 int
 o the atmosphere.  CCS involves capturing CO_2 and storing it underground\
 , typically by injecting it down into brine-saturated porous rock.  Inject
 ed CO_2 spreads under gravity\, and can react and dissolve with the water 
 or rock around it.  In this talk I will discuss some fluid dynamical and m
 athematical aspects of modelling the flow of injected CO_2. I will focus i
 n particular on the convective flow of CO_2 that can occur when it dissolv
 es in water\, which can strikingly affect the flow patterns through the ro
 ck\, and which can have a significant effect on the long-term security of 
 storage.\n
