Description
Summary:There is a risk of hazardous releases of CO2 from Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) facilities and infrastructure. To predict the exposure to the environment and to perform safety assessments, reliable and efficient simulation technology for detailed prediction of CO2 dispersion in realistic, complex environments is needed. Here the development of an advanced industrial CO2 dispersion simulation tool based on the CFD simulator KAMELEON FIREEX KFX® is discussed. The tool's capability of predicting CO2 dispersion at realistic conditions has been demonstrated through relevant tests and comparisons of simulation results to experimental data from both laboratory tests and large-scale field trials.
