Abstract

The process of gas dispersion is very complex, especially the gas of well blowout. Safety design and scale-up of these systems requires a through understanding of gas diffusion patterns and affected area. This paper provides a brief review of current techniques in numerical simulation of gas diffusion. The effects of inlet, outlet and boundary conditions are also discussed. Two-dimensional transient numerical simulations of gas injection and gas diffusion patterns in well blowout are presented. In addition, three cases of gas diffusion simulation no winds, under wind and with obstacle are provided.
