  • Title: On the application of computational fluid dynamics codes for liquefied natural gas dispersion.
    Author: Luketa-Hanlin A, Koopman RP, Ermak DL.
    Journal: J Hazard Mater; 2007 Feb 20; 140(3):504-17. PubMed ID: 17113710.
    Abstract:
    Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) codes are increasingly being used in the liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry to predict natural gas dispersion distances. This paper addresses several issues regarding the use of CFD for LNG dispersion such as specification of the domain, grid, boundary and initial conditions. A description of the k-epsilon model is presented, along with modifications required for atmospheric flows. Validation issues pertaining to the experimental data from the Burro, Coyote, and Falcon series of LNG dispersion experiments are also discussed. A description of the atmosphere is provided as well as discussion on the inclusion of the Coriolis force to model very large LNG spills.
