ESTIMATE OF THE DIMENSIONS OF THE GASIFICATION ZONE ON THE WATER SURFACE WHEN AN UNDERWATER GAS WELL IS FLOWING

The article considers the process of the spread of gas emissions on the sea surface when a gas well with an underwater head is accidently flowing. A new express-method for calculating the boundaries of the gasification zone formed by gas exiting the water surface is described. The method is based on a series of computational experiments in the software complex «Toxi+Risk» with subsequent approximation of the obtained results.
