A data fusion method incorporating real time measured data from buoy robots in the simulation models for not only gas and oil blowouts, but also spilled oil drifting on sea surface will be developed.

Measure 3

Precision of prediction of oil and gas behavior using simulation models will be improved by incorporating real time measured data from buoy robots SOTAB-I and SOTAB-II.

  • Simulation Models
  • > for underwater oil and gas behavior
    The model incorporates the phase changes of gas, associated changes in thermodynamics and its impact on the hydrodynamics of plume. Hydrate formation, taking hydrate formation, hydrate decomposition, gas dissolution, and non-ideal behavior of the gas into account.

    > for oil behavior on the sea surface
    The model incorporates meteorological model, ocean model, and advection, diffusion and dissipation model of oil particles.

  • Data fusion
  • A data fusion method incorporating real time measured data from buoy robots in the simulation models for not only gas and oil blowouts, but also spilled oil drifting on sea surface will be developed.
