Novel approach for modeling kinetic interface-sensitive (KIS) tracers with respect to time-dependent interfacial area change for the optimization of supercritical carbon dioxide injection into deep saline aquifers

- A novel numerical approach for kinetic interface sensitive tracers is developed.
- Includes a time-dependent interfacial area change between scCO2 and brine.
- The model is implemented into a free and open-source simulator (DuMux).
- Includes mutual solubility scCO2-brine and KIS tracer reaction at interface.
- Sensitivity analysis to narrow the kinetic rate constants for future lab experiments.
