Research Leadership

Gulf Integrated Spill Research Consoritium: Chief Scientist. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . since 2011Chief Scientist (head of research activities) for the Gulf Integrated Spill Research (GISR) Consor-tium, with project manager Piers Chapman (TAMU Oceanography) and funded by the BP/Gulfof Mexico Research Initiative (GoMRI). This project includes 23 PIs at 10 different institutions,including the Departments of Oceanography, Atmospheric Sciences, and Civil Engineering at TexasA&M. Socolofsky was lead author of the successful proposal. The vision of the GISR consortium isto understand and predict the fundamental behavior of petroleum fluids in the ocean environment.This capability is critical to inform decisions during response to oil spills and for development ofmitigation plans, ultimately yielding significant environmental and financial savings. The Missionof the current block grant to GISR is to develop a coupled, tested modeling and observationalsystem to track and predict the pathways of transforming hydrocarbons released from oil spills inthe Gulf of Mexico and to validate this modeling system through new, targeted field and laboratoryexperiments. In addition to his role as chief scientist, Socolofsky’s research roles include applyingand coupling of his numerical blowout model to a far-field transport model, conducting new labo-ratory experiments on multiphase plumes, and leading two field experiments to study natural seepsand a controlled injection of gas to simulate a blowout plume (to be conducted in summer 2014and 2015, respectively).

NSF Collaborative Grant: Principle Investigator. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . since 2010Principle investigator and lead proposal author for a collaborative research project funded bythe National Science Foundation, Division of Chemical, Biological, and Environmental Transport,in the Environmental Engineering Program. The project studies the effect of aeration plumeson sediment oxygen demand in lakes. The collaboration brings together researchers from TexasA&M University, Virginia Tech, University of Granada, Spain, and the Swiss Federal Institute ofAquatic Science and Technology (Eawag). This project conducted field measurements in lakes inVirginia (2011 and 2013) and Switzerland (2012) along with near-field and far-field modeling andwill produce two Ph.D. students in 2014 to 2015.

Multiphase Plume Modeling: Invited Proposals. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . since 2010Through Socolofsky’s publications and research on laboratory experiments and integral plume mod-eling of multiphase plumes, he has become a recognized expert in the area. He has targeted a widerange of applications, including lake and reservoir aeration, deep ocean carbon sequestration, funda-mental physics studies, and subsea oil well blowouts. He was selected by Deltares, The Netherlands,to submit a work scope and budget (invited, non-competitive) for laboratory experiments on bub-ble plume destratification as a solution to salt-wedge intrusion in the Rotterdam Waterway. Hereceived similar invitations for multiple research projects from Chevron and Shell oil companiesfollowing the Deepwater Horizon disaster. In addition to his role as Chief Scientist on the GISRconsortium, he is the lead near-field modeler for another BP/GoMRI Consortium, C-IMAGE, ledby the University of South Florida. Socolofsky is a member of the American Petroleum InstituteTechnical Advisory Committee for the D3 Task Force on Subsea Dispersant Effectiveness for mit-igation of accidental oil-well blowouts. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration(NOAA) is embedding his blowout model (see Other Scholarly Contributions, below) in their next

generation operational spill model (GNOME). NOAA has also contracted Socolofsky to reviewtheir near-field modeling work for the Deepwater Horizon Natural Resource Damage Assessment(NRDA). British Petroleum also invited Socolofsky to consult for their NRDA work, but he wasprevented from working with them due to the prior commitment to NOAA. In the last four years,these projects have brought in over $4.1M, supporting laboratory and field experiments, numericalmodeling, and the on-going activities of five Ph.D. students and two post doctoral researchers.

Texas A&M Oilspill Calculator (TAMOC). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . since 2006Through funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF), Socolofsky developed a numericalmodeling system to predict the dynamics of multiphase plumes in lakes and reservoirs, primarily forapplication in aeration. The model follows an integral modeling approach and employs a double-plume solution, following the work of Asaeda & Imberger (1993) and Crounse et al. (2007). Thevalidation of the model and application to deep ocean carbon dioxide sequestration was publishedin Socolofsky et al. (2008) and Socolofsky & Bhaumik (2008). At that time, the model was coded

10

in Matlab and included only air, oxygen, or carbon dioxide as the multiphase fluid; the modelwas known as the Stratified Multiphase Integral Plume in Matlab (SMIP-M) model and was anopen-source code.

During the Deepwater Horizon disaster, the model was upgraded to handle oil, natural gas andnon-ideal fluid behavior, following equations of state in McCain (1990) and McGinnis et al. (2006),through a RAPID grant from NSF. This updated model was used in a project funded by ShellInternational to study the behavior of gas hydrates and their effects on oil well blowouts; this workis published in Anderson et al. (2012).

Since receiving funding from the BP/Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative (GoMRI) through theC-IMAGE consortium, the model has been significantly expanded and ported to the Python andFortran programming languages. The new modeling suite is called the Texas A&M Oilspill Calcu-lator (TAMOC) and is available online as open source at:

https://github.com/socolofs/tamoc

The modeling package includes extensive equations of state for petroleum fluids, methods to handleambient water column data and for coupling to ocean circulation models, and numerical modules topredict the fate of a single bubble or droplet rising through the water column (e.g., a natural seep)or the plume dynamics of a collection of released fluids (e.g., a pipeline leak or subsea accidentalblowout). Several publications on model methods and demonstrating applications of this newmodeling suite are in preparation with Socolofskys Ph.D. students and post doctoral researchers.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is currently coupling this model tothe next generation release of the General NOAA Operational Modeling Environment (GNOME).The model is also being coupled to the Connectivity Modeling System (CMS, through C-IMAGEfunding in collaboration with Claire Paris) and the Lagrangian TRANSport model (LTRANS,through the GoMRI funded GISR consortium with Elizabeth North). The open-source code is alsobeing used by Shell International and Chevron Energy Technology Corporation for exploration andinternal risk assessment.

Shallow Water Enhanced Stability Calculator in Matlab (SWESC-M). . . . . . . since 2004This is a state-of-the-art Matlab computer program for solving the linear stability problem forshallow water shear flows. The program has a complete Graphical User Interface (GUI) and User’sManual, and is distributed under the GNU General Public License. SWESC-M incorporates manyinnovative automation and search methods developed by Socolofsky for finding critical stabilitypoints. It also provides for batch-processing and efficient post-processing. The program has beenused by researchers at the University of Karlsruhe, Germany (Prof. G. Jirka), the Hong KongUniversity of Science and Technology (Prof. M. Ghidaoui), Texas A&M University (Prof. S. So-colofsky), and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Prof. H. Nepf). Publications using thismodel by Socolofsky include Negretti et al. (2008) and Socolofsky & Jirka (2004). Other publica-tions Socolofsky is aware of that apply SWESC-M include White & Nepf (2007, Journal of FluidMechanics, 593, pp. 1-32.).

Engrg.Thesis Supervisor: Dr. E. Eric AdamsCommittee Members: Drs. Ole S. Madsen & Heidi M. Nepf

Conducted laboratory experiments to help understand deep ocean (> 1000 m) multiphase plumesboth for the design of ocean outfalls of CO2 (for carbon sequestration) and for clean-up planning ofdeepsea accidental oil-well blowouts. Experimental techniques included laser-induced fluorescence(LIF), shadowgraph visualization, salinity and dye concentration profiling, and crossflow generationusing both a towed source and a recirculation pump. Numerical techniques included integral andbox models. Project goals were three-fold: 1. to classify the different modes of plume behavior,2. to quantify plume dilution for calibration of numerical models, and 3. to develop a modelingalgorithm to account for the effect of crossflows.

Teaching Activities

Socolofsky has had teaching appointments at both the University of Karlsruhe, Germany (2001-2002) and Texas A&M University (since 2003). Significant accomplishments include:

• As a measure of teaching effectiveness, Socolofsky’s course average evaluation scores rangefrom 4.13 (ENGR 111 in fall 2003) to 5.00 (OCEN 677 in spring 2007 and OCEN 475 inspring 2011) on a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being the best score. His average evaluation score is4.67 across all 28 course sections taught at Texas A&M University.

• Student written comments are mostly positive, focusing on his organization, passion for thematerial, ability to communicate effectively, and the sense that Socolofsky cares that studentslearn the material well.

• As course coordinator for CVEN 302 (Computer Applications in Engineering and Construc-tion), Socolofsky led an effort to improve the programming aspects of the course by addingthree hours of laboratory time and a block of 12 major programming assignments to the course.Student feedback is that the laboratory time and programming assignments are beneficial tothe class and help their later progression through upper-level undergraduate courses.

• Developed a new course sequence at Texas A&M University in Environmental Fluid Mechanics(see New Courses Developed, below).

• Continually updating and adapting OCEN 678 (Fluid Dynamics for Ocean and EnvironmentalEngineering) to accommodate the growing class size (35 students in 2013). This includes acomprehensive set of notes and recorded lectures posted on the course website as well asinnovative use of student groups for the homework assignments and course project.

Development of Course Materials

Textbook on Environmental Fluid MechanicsSocolofsky has written a textbook-style manuscript for a two-semester course on EnvironmentalFluid Mechanics together with Gerhard H. Jirka (professor from the University of Karlsruhe; sincedeceased). The text is appropriate for a senior level technical elective or a first-year graduate class.The first semester portion of the book is being used as the primary textbook for his courses inEnvironmental Fluid Mechanics (OCEN 475 and 677), and is available for download from:

https://ceprofs.civil.tamu.edu/ssocolofsky/OCENx89/book.html

The second semester portion of the book was used in the OCEN 677 when it was offered as agraduate-only section. The chapters for this section (Chapter2 8 through 11) are available fordownload from:

https://ceprofs.tamu.edu/kchang/ocen689/ocen689.htm

These chapters are used by many other faculty around the world. Socolofsky has email communi-cation with faculty at 16 different institutions who have used the text in the courses they offer.

Extensive set of Course WebsitesSocolofsky maintains an extensive set of web-sites for his courses at TAMU following content guide-lines developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology OpenCourseWare program. Eachwebsite contains a complete calendar with downloadable lecture notes (where applicable), a com-plete syllabus, a listing of assignments and their due dates, an announcements page, a list of linksto related resources, and, if allowed by copyright laws, downloadable handouts and other coursematerials.

The Coastal and Ocean Engineering Division is one of four Divisions in the Zachry Departmentof Civil Engineering and represents nine faculty in the department. As Division Head, Socolofskyserves on the Department Head’s Council of Division Heads, administrates the approval process fora diverse range of paperwork, allocates division space among faculty, staff, visiting scholars, postdoctoral researchers, and students, directs the activities of the Division Administrative Assistantand Senior Laboratory Technician, provides communication lines between the Department Headand Division Faculty, recommends appointments of Division Faculty to Division, Departmental,and external Committee service, assigns Division Faculty teaching loads, helps to perform Faculty

23

and Staff annual performance reviews, and manages a diverse range of other day-to-day activitiesof the division.

The Ocean Engineering Program is an independent degree-granting program within the ZachryDepartment of Civil Engineering and includes an ABET accredited Bachelor of Science degree andgraduate degrees of Master of Science, Master of Engineering, Doctor of Philosophy and Doctorof Engineering all in Ocean Engineering. As Head of the Ocean Engineering Program, Socolofskymanages an external, industrial advisory committee that meets twice per year with the Programfaculty, appoints and oversees faculty and staff as undergraduate and graduate program advisors,helps the department set enrollment caps for the undergraduate program, helps the graduate advisorset enrollment caps and admission standards for the graduate program, administrates a committeein charge of the ABET process (working together with Civil Engineering and the College), andoversees a Program curriculum committee, honors and awards committee, and scholarship andfellowships committee.

While the Ocean Engineering Program is an independent degree-granting program, its budget isadministered by the Civil Engineering Department Head, and the Program Head reports to theDepartment Head as a service role.

Assistant Department Head for Academic Programs: Zachry Department of Civil Engi-neering. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . spring and summer 2011

Assisted the Associate Department Head (Prof. Roger Smith) on activities related to the undergrad-uate program, including ABET accreditation, review of faculty teaching performance, interfacingwith parents of students on various issues, and administration of student petitions to the Depart-ment Head when they disagreed with decisions made by the Undergraduate Student Services Officewithin the Department. Also served on the Departmental Curriculum Committee and assisted theDepartment Head as a replacement on a number of University- and College-level committees whenthe Department Head was on travel.

Undergraduate Advisor: Ocean Engineering Program. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2009-2010

Served as the first point-of-contact for undergraduate students pursuing the degree of Ocean Engi-neering; activities included admission decisions for change of major and transfer students, approvalof petitions for course substitutions, administration of the academic advising process, setting ofprogram standards, making and enforcing decisions on probation and expulsion, organization ofnew student conferences, and recruiting.

During his time in this role, Socolofsky successfully petitioned the Civil Engineering Department tobudget for a full-time staff person to serve undergraduate advising for Ocean Program students. Bythe fall of 2010, a full time assistant was hired who reported directly to the Undergraduate StudentServices Office Head in the Civil Engineering Department with responsibility for students in theOcean Engineering Program. This new position has relieved the Faculty Undergraduate Advisorfrom having to administrate the many standard day-to-day advising approvals; the Faculty Advisoris now responsible for setting standards and making decisions in unique cases (e.g. transfer of coursehours from other institutions).
