Dataset for: Was the Deepwater Horizon well discharge churn flow? Implications on the estimation of the oil discharge and droplet size distribution

Oil and gas flow from the Macondo255 wellhead were simulated using a large eddy simulation (LES) approach. This dataset includes the simulated oil and gas holdups (both along the radial and centerline direction), flow velocity, turbulence dissipation rate, and entrainment coefficient. The data was generated by CFD-LES approach using FLUENT software and post-processed by TECPLOT and Excel.

针对Macondo255井口的油气流动，本研究采用大涡模拟（large eddy simulation, LES）方法完成了数值模拟。本数据集包含模拟得到的油气持率（沿径向与中心线方向分布）、流动速度、湍流耗散率以及卷吸系数。该数据集通过采用FLUENT软件的计算流体动力学-大涡模拟（CFD-LES）方法生成，并经TECPLOT与Excel完成后处理工作。
