Abstract

We examine how fluids mix in three-dimensional (3D) porous materials due to differences in density which represent one mechanism of underground carbon dioxide storage. The experiment closely matched the simulation in terms of the patterns and speed of mixing. Interestingly, the experiment reveals co...
