..., the effect of fracture orientation on fluid mixing is examined for two cases when density contrast exists (1) between miscible fluids, and (2) between miscible reactive fluids that form precipitates. The experimental observations found very different distribution of fluids, as well as precipitation...

... is the connectivity of the salt body to its source. It is shown that when the salt body is connected to its source, the density contrast between the salt and surrounding sediments is the most important controlling factor. The stresses in completely isolated salt bodies are mainly controlled by the far-field stresses...
