Real-Time Transient Modeling of CO₂ Pipelines and Phase Behavior During the Leak

A clear understanding of flow characteristics of CO₂ pipelines under various operating conditions, including leaks, provides valuable insights for effective monitoring and design of reliable leak detection systems. In this paper, we address the challenges of real-time transient modeling of CO₂ pipelines. The proposed modeling framework integrates the compressible flow dynamics and phase transitions to study the complex phenomenon of CO₂ release. The approach and findings of this paper contribute to enhancing leak detection in pipelines and help with mitigating emissions of greenhouse gases accordingly.
