Abstract:

The dataset includes: validation data for VDROP-J model in combined release of oil and gas underwater, simulation data of oil droplet and gas bubble size distribution from DWH blowouts. These data have been used to generate figures in the manuscript: Zhao, L., Boufadel, M.C., King, T., Robinson, B., Gao, F., Socolofsky, S.A., & Lee, K. 2017.

Purpose:

To investigate the droplet and bubble formation in a combined oil and gas releases, such as in DWH blowout, and provide estimations of the oil and bubble size distribution during DWH blowout.
