Multiphysics Modeling of Hydrocarbon Leaks on the Gulf of Mexico Floor

University of Houston-Clear Lake via YouTube

Overview

Explore the intricacies of multiphysics modeling for hydrocarbon leaks on the Gulf of Mexico floor in this comprehensive one-hour lecture. Delve into Intuitive Machines' advanced simulation capabilities for subsea and terrestrial blowouts, developed since 2013. Learn how high-resolution met-ocean models, ADCP field records, and volumetrically consistent particle release simulations were integrated to achieve a 96% match against observational data from 51 piloted overflights. Discover how this improved modeling framework attributed four years of aerial observations to a single seafloor source location. Gain insights into CFD, hydrocarbon releases, engineering models, fluid structure interaction, and the practical applications of these simulations in real-world scenarios. Engage with the presenter's background, job responsibilities, and the customer-driven aspects of this project. Conclude with a Q&A session featuring Steve Ausmus and Derek Smith, offering further exploration of this cutting-edge multiphysics modeling approach.
