Abstract

Convection in a closed porous domain is a temporally and spatially complex flow which evolves over long time scales as the driving buoyancy contrasts are eliminated by mixing. In a contribution that combines numerical, experimental and asymptotic approaches, Hewitt, Neufeld & Lister (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 719, 2013, pp. 551–586) demonstrate that the essential dynamics can be captured by simple ‘box’ models, both when the buoyancy supply is imposed at the upper boundary and when the domain contains a moving interface between different fluids. This work provides insights into the dynamics and viability of schemes for the geological sequestration of CO2.
