Computer simulations indicate that CO2 can be stored underground indefinitely by dissolving in groundwater, forming a denser liquid that sinks, ensuring long-term storage under suitable geological conditions. doi.org/g9dtm4
Computer simulations suggest CO₂ can be stored underground indefinitely
We have to stop emitting carbon dioxide (CO2) if we want to save the climate—there is no doubt about that. But that alone will not be enough.

Wie man Kohlendioxid für immer loswird
Was passiert, wenn man abgeschiedenes CO2 in den Boden pumpt? Hochaufwändige Computersimulationen ermöglichen es nun, das langfristige Verhalten vorherzusagen.

As in the last years, the GACM Executive Council would like to emphasize the importance of this call for young researchers in computational mechanics in Germany. Please consider nominating excellent young researchers for this award or encourage them to apply. A candidate automatically enters the selection procedure for the upcoming ECCOMAS Best Ph.D. award (» https://www.eccomas.org/awards/phd-awards/). Thus, a single nomination/application is sufficient to enter the selection procedure for both awards!

What happens to C02 at depths of kilometers?
Capturing and storing carbon dioxide (CO2), at large depths, is one of the options for reducing the amount of CO2 in our atmosphere. Although there are places on earth that have a long history with this, knowledge is lacking about how the stored gas, as a ‘supercritical fluid’, behaves at depths of…

Announcement of the 2021 Nobel Prize in Physics
The Nobel Prize in Physics 2021 was awarded "for groundbreaking contributions to our understanding of complex systems" with one half jointly to Syukuro Manabe and Klaus Hasselmann "for the physical modelling of Earth's climate, quantifying variability and reliably predicting global warming" and the other half to Giorgio Parisi "for the discovery of the interplay of disorder and fluctuations in physical systems from atomic to planetary scales."
The Nobel Prize in Physics was announced at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in Stockholm.

The contour of concentration and corresponding velocity streamlines are presented in the second box from left. By using stream function, velocity components in the horizontal (u) and vertical (w) directions are derived and shown as well.
