As global warming intensifies, geological carbon storage (GCS) has emerged as a critical climate mitigation strategy, attracting widespread attention and becoming a key research area in engineering geology. The carbon dioxide (CO₂) migration within reservoirs has been examined, but the effects of phase change on reservoir behavior during CO₂ storage remain insufficiently characterized. In this study, the impact of phase change on particle migration in CO₂ storage was investigated through a resolved CFD-DEM-VOF method integrated with phase change model.
