Abstract:

In order to simulate the environmental dispersion and behaviour of effluent discharges from offshore oil and gas installations, a model has been developed to simulate the physical mixing behaviour of neutrally and positively buoyant plumes. The mathematical foundations of a Langevin based model capable of representing three phase (initial mixing, dynamic buoyancy collapse and ambient turbulence) dispersion are described. An initial asymptotic analysis is presented as part of a laboratory and field calibration process.
