Computational Fluid Dynamics-Based Modeling of Methane Flows Around Oil and Gas Equipment by Abhinav Anand, Stuart Riddick, Kira B. Shonkwiler, Aashish Upreti, Michael Moy, Elijah Kiplimo, Mercy Mbua, Daniel J. Zimmerle

“…Currently, simple atmospheric dispersion models are primarily used to quantify emissions and concentrations, but these estimates are highly uncertain when quantifying emissions from complex aerodynamic sources, such as oil and gas facilities. This investigation used a CFD modeling approach, which can account for aerodynamic complexity but has hitherto not been used to model methane concentrations downwind of a methane release of a known rate, and compared it against in situ measurements. …”
