| Abstract: | The dissolution from a liquid CO2 lake source located at a flat ocean bottom at 3,000 m depth is investigated.
Using the unsteady, two-dimensional advection–diffusion equation, temporal and spatial distribution of CO2 dissolved
from the source of 500 m length and of unit span is sought in a domain of 20 km horizontal and 200 m
vertical extent. Different cases were run with uniform longitudinal speed and constant horizontal and vertical
diffusion coefficients and with vertical profiles of velocity and diffusivity derived from turbulent boundary layer
theory. Each case was run with and without a hydrate film at the interface between the seawater and the liquid
CO2. The properties of the hydrate film are modeled using a capillary permeation model. The computations show
that the presence of a hydrate layer retards the dissolution rate by a factor of 2.7 when the density effects due to
the increase of CO2 concentration as a result of the dissolution are neglected. However, the stron... |
