Impact of relative permeability hysteresis on geological CO2 storage
TL;DR: In this article, the importance of accounting for CO2 trapping in the relative permeability model for predicting the distribution and mobility of CO2 in the formation has been evaluated, and it is shown that the mechanism of capillary trapping can be exploited to improve the overall effectiveness of the injection project.

A physics-informed deep learning framework for inversion and surrogate modeling in solid mechanics
TL;DR: It is found that honoring the physics leads to improved robustness: when trained only on a few parameters, the PINN model can accurately predict the solution for a wide range of parameters new to the network—thus pointing to an important application of this framework to sensitivity analysis and surrogate modeling.

Lifetime of carbon capture and storage as a climate-change mitigation technology
TL;DR: It is shown that in the United States, if CO2 production from power generation continues to rise at recent rates, then CCS can store enough CO2 to stabilize emissions at current levels for at least 100 y, suggesting that the large-scale implementation of CCS is a geologically viable climate-change mitigation option in theUnited States over the next century.

Wettability control on multiphase flow in patterned microfluidics.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study the impact of wettability on viscously unfavorable fluid-fluid displacement in disordered media by means of high-resolution imaging in microfluidic flow cells patterned with vertical posts.

Stability and convergence of sequential methods for coupled flow and geomechanics: Fixed-stress and fixed-strain splits
TL;DR: In this article, the stability and convergence of sequential implicit methods for coupled flow and geomechanics, in which the flow problem is solved first, were analyzed. And the authors employed the von Neumann and energy methods for linear and nonlinear problems, respectively.
