CONSEQUENCE MODELLING OF PRESSURIZED C02 RELEASE IN PURE AND RICH MIXTURE WITH OBSTACLES

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is an alternative for decreasing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by removing carbon dioxide (CO2) from power plants. Accidental discharges from CCS plant will result in a release of dense CO2 gas cloud to the ambience at high concentrations which becomes a dominate...
