Reactive rocks, when exposed to CO2-charged waters, can undergo a series of reactions leading to the formation of stable carbonates. These carbonates can store carbon for thousands of years. To better understand the interplay between CO2 and brine in these reactive formations, numerical simulations are a useful tool. However, simulating fluid flow in these reservoirs can pose significant computational challenges.
