“…The first published scientific accounts on which present‐day modelling of the characteristics of two‐phase plumes is founded are thus the works of Evans, Taylor, and Morton et al Many scientists have continued the work of these pioneers, e.g. Ditmars and Cederwall further developed the model of Morton, Taylor, and Turner by including gas compressibility and bubble slip velocity. While the early work focused on two‐phase bubble plumes in the context of breakwaters, early petroleum‐related assessments are linked to Topham, who presented the first work on underwater oil release, and Fanneløp and Sjøen and Milgram, who initiated work on subsea gas release.…”
