Small-scale modelling of the physiochemical impacts of CO2 leaked from sub-seabed reservoirs or pipelines within the North Sea and surrounding waters

摘要: A two-fluid, small scale numerical ocean model was developed to simulate plume dynamics and increases in water acidity due leakages of CO2 from potential sub-seabed reservoirs erupting, or pipeline breaching into the North Sea. The location a leak such magnitude is unpredictable; therefore, multiple scenarios are modelled with physiochemical impact measured terms movement dissolution leaked CO2. correlation for drag coefficient bubbles/droplets free rising seawater presented sub-model predict initial bubble/droplet size forming on seafloor proposed. With case studies investigated, fully dissolve before reaching surface, where solution will be dispersed larger waters. tools can extended various locations sudden eruption, which vital determining fate within local
