Conference Presentation at the 9th International Symposium on Environmental Hydraulics. Analysis of natural gas bubbles under deep-ocean conditions, including hydrate armoring. Compares numerical simulations using the Texas A&M Oil spill / outfall Calculator (TAMOC) to data observed in the NETL High Pressure Water Tunnel. Also, presents simulations of natural seep bubbles in the oceans off the coast of Oregon with comparison to acoustic observations of natural gas seep flares.
