“Tepid” Geysers above salt caverns

Comptes Rendus. Mécanique, 2018
The formation of a brine geyser erupting from the wellhead of a large underground salt cavern is described. In most cases, the brine outflow from an opened cavern is slow; it results from the cavern creep closure and the thermal expansion of the cavern brine.
