CFD Simulation of CO2 Dispersion in a Real Terrain

Article Preview

Abstract:

A deeper understanding of CO2 dispersion resulting from accidental releases is essential to evaluate the risk associated with the Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology. The dispersion patterns of CO2, which is a heave gas, may vary according to local conditions. In this study the possibility of simulating the dispersion of CO2 clouds over a real topographically complex area in Australia by a general purpose Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) code is investigated. The study may offer a viable method for assessment of risks associated with CCS.
