An oceanic two-phase plume model is developed to include bubble size distribution and bubble interactions, applied to the prediction of CO2bubble plume and CO2solution dynamics observed from the recent QICS field experiment in the Scottish sea at Ardmucknish Bay. Observations show bubbles form at between 2 and 12 mm in diameter, where the inclusion of the interactions within the simulations brings results of bubble plumes closer to that of the experiment. Under a given leakage flux, simulations show that the bubble size affects the maximumpCO2dissolved in the water column, while the bubble interactions affect the vertical bubble distribution. The maximum modelledpCO2increases from a background 360 μatm to 400, 427 and 443 μatm as CO2injection rates increase from 80, 170 to 208 kg/day respectively at low tide. An increase of the leakage rate to 100% of the injection rate shows the maximumpCO2could be 713 μatm, approaching the meanpCO2observed of 740 μatm during the high leakage component of the experiment, suggesting that the flux may be greater than estimated due to the varied flux and activity across the pockmarks during the leakages.
