The brine-co2 equation of state available in the PorousFlow module enables many types of numerical models of geological storage of CO $var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-f1ab798d-e300-44fc-a934-c224fd2a3655");katex.render("_2", element, {displayMode:false,throwOnError:false,macros:{"\\eqc":"\\,,","\\eqp":"\\,.","\\pd":"\\frac{\\partial #1}{\\partial #2}","\\pr":"\\left(#1\\right)","\\ddt":"\\frac{d #1}{d t}"}});$ in saline aquifers. There are a number of intercomparison problems that have been studied in the scientific literature that can be used to assess the applicability of the PorousFlow module to these types of problems (Pruess et al., 2002; Pruess et al., 2004).
