Motivation
• Gas leaks generate bubbles in water
• As a bubble forms it oscillates and efficiently radiates sound.
• The sound emitted is at a frequency which depends on the bubble’s size (radius) • Small bubbles radiate high frequencies
• Large bubbles radiate low frequencies
• Questions: • Can one detect leaks using passive acoustics?
• Can one use passive acoustics to quantify leaks?

Model of bubble emission
• If a bubble is formed at t=0, its radius will vary with time, R(t), according to the following:
0 0cos 2tR t R R e f t
Frequency of oscillation, which directly relates to the bubble size
Damping coefficient, depends on several factors.
Initial bubble displacement
Equilibrium radius

Key assumption
• The initial radius R is a key parameter • It controls how loud the sound from each bubble is.
• This parameter is believed to scale with the bubble equilibrium radius, i.e.
• This scale factor is evaluated through experimental results.

Detection
• How far away can one detect a leak?
• This depends on many factors: • Size of the leak.
• Large leaks, more bubbles, more noise, easier to detect.
• Bubble sizes generated by the leak.
• The sensing system being used. • A directional system, e.g. an array, allows detection at greater
ranges.
• Listening for greater periods increases detection ranges
• Ambient noise level. • If the background noise is louder then it is harder to detect a
leak.

Sound from leaks • Predicted power spectra @ 1 m from 4 leaks of CO2
of 1, 10, 100, 1000 L/min all at 20 m depth, 20 C.

Ambient noise
• Ambient noise in deep water is well characterised.
• In shallow water there is much more variability (both spatially and temporally).

So how far away can you detect a leak?
• With 1 hydrophone, listening for 1 s, you can detect a leaks of 10 L/min at ranges of 1-5 m
• With an array of hydrophones (say 10), one can increase this to in excess of 10-20 m.
• By listening for greater periods of time one can (in theory) increase this to arbitrarily large distance! Realistically 100 m is not unrealistic.

Quantification: Low Flow Rates
• If the gas is leaking slowly then one can detect the sound of individual bubbles: allowing one to count and size them individually. Detecting/counting bubbles
Centre frequency tells one the bubble size (radius, r). Can compute gas volume as 4r3/3.

Quantification: High Flow Rates
• When many bubbles are generated, bubble signatures overlap and individual bubbles can’t be counted.

Tank-based Experiment
• Experimental settings: • Bubble plumes generated in a water tank (8 m x 8 m x 5 m)
• A bubbling stone
• An arrangement of needles
• Measurements in the direct field

Conclusion
Passive acoustics offers a suitable technique for long-term monitoring.
It can detect leaks at modest ranges, probably significantly less than active acoustic methods.
It provides a technique which can quantify leaks.
