Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

The transformation and storage of energy and carbon dioxide in deep reservoirs include underground coal gasification, underground storage of oil and gas, underground storage of hydrogen, underground compressed air energy storage, geological utilization and storage of carbon dioxide, etc., which are related to the realization of low-carbon development, green development, and sustainable development. Fluid mechanics in porous media is one of the key disciplines supporting the above major projects. In order to strengthen the deep integration of seepage mechanics theory and engineering and promote the development of emerging interdisciplinary subjects, we have launched this special call for papers with the support of relevant academic journals.

We are pleased to invite the research community to submit review or regular research papers on, but not limited to, the following relevant topics related to porous flow:

• Underground coal gasification;

• Gas storage in salt cavern;

• Natural gas storage in depleted reservoirs;

• Underground compressed air energy storage;

• Groundwater sealed oil storage depot;

• Hydrogen underground storage;

• Petroleum storage in hard-rock caverns;

• CO₂ geological storage and utilization;

• Others.
