Overview animation

The animation below shows the migration of CO₂ in the domain over time, plotted as the mass fraction of CO₂ in the liquid phase. The animation starts at the initial state and ends at the end of the migration period. We also plot the amount of dissolved CO₂ in the liquid phase in the two reporting boxes A and B, as well as the mobile CO₂ in the gas phase. Note that the playback speed is slower during injection than during migration.

CO₂ mass fraction in liquid

The mass fraction of CO₂ in the liquid phase is shown below.
