LLNL/NWC (Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory/Naval Weapons Center) 1980 LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) Spill Tests. Burro Series Data Report: The Appendices

摘要

During the summer of 1980, the Burro series of liquefied natural gas (LNG) spill experiments were performed at the Naval Weapons Center, China Lake, California. These experiments involved 8 spills of LNG and one of liquid nitrogen, each of approximately 40 m exp 3 , onto water. A large array of instruments was used to make measurements of gas concentration, temperature humidity, heat flux from the ground, and turbulence within the dispersing gas cloud. A separate instrument array made measurements of the wind field both upwind of the spill and over the area in which the gas was dispersing. Volume II contains appendices for: wind field data and flowlines; horizontal gas concentration contours; and vertical gas concentration contours. (ERA citation 09:001879)
