Consequence Modelling Of Co2 Pipeline Failure, Xiong Liu, Ajit R. Godbole, Cheng Lu, Guillaume Michal, Valerie M. Linton Jan 2019

Consequence Modelling Of Co2 Pipeline Failure, Xiong Liu, Ajit R. Godbole, Cheng Lu, Guillaume Michal, Valerie M. Linton

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part B

This paper describes the experimental investigation and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations of the dispersion of CO2 following high-pressure dense phase CO2 pipeline failure. A full-scale burst test was carried out to simulate a CO2 pipeline failure in the real world. The atmospheric dispersion of the CO2 following the explosive release was measured. The CFD models were validated against the experimental data. The models were then used to estimate the consequence distances related to CO2 dispersion following failure of pipelines with various diameters under different wind speeds. This approach provides a predictive formula for the consequence distances of CO2 transmission …


Landslide Risk Assessment - Development Of A Hazard Consequence Approach, Chit Ko Ko, Phillip N. Flentje, Robin N. Chowdhury Jan 1999

Landslide Risk Assessment - Development Of A Hazard Consequence Approach, Chit Ko Ko, Phillip N. Flentje, Robin N. Chowdhury

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A

Several Landslide Hazard and Risk Assessment methods have been developed and used in the State of New South Wales (NSW), Australia. The Rail Services Australia Geotechnical Services and the Roads and Traffic Authority of NSW have each developed Risk Assessment procedures suitable to their own specific needs. A generic risk management methodology is presented in the Australian Standard/New Zealand Standard (AS/NZS) 4360:1995. An approach similar to the (AS/NZS) 4360:1995 Risk Management Standard has been applied by a NSW State Emergency Services geotechnical team (which included one of the writers) to 191 problem sites in the Wollongong Area, following a major …
