Modeling of flows in porous media related to underground carbon dioxide storage using high performance computing systems

In this work, the problem of carbon dioxide injection into a water saturated permeable layer is investigated. Using direct numerical simulations, we evaluate the CO 2 plume extension in the layer for different parameters of injection. The simulation results obtained for the complete mathematical model are compared with the approximate self-similar solution of the problem. The conditions of applicability of the self-similar asymptotics are determined. The computational capability of the model and the parallel efficiency of numerical simulations are estimated.
