Density-Driven CO₂ Dissolution in Depleted Gas Reservoirs with Bottom Aquifers by Xiaocong Lyu, Fang Cen, Rui Wang, Huiqing Liu, Jing Wang, Junxi Xiao, Xudong Shen

This leads to a substantial reduction in the rate of CO₂ dissolution, primarily governed by gravity-induced fingering, thereby manifesting as a delay in the onset and decay time of convection, accompanied by a pronounced decrement in the maximum Sherwood number. …”
