Predicting the Hazards from Large Spills of Liquefied Gaseous Fuels

摘要

With the increase in volume of liquefied gaseous fuels (LGFs) being transported and stored throughout the world, there comes a growing possibility of very large spills of flammable materials. The LGF Spill Effects Program was established at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) by the Department of Energy (DOE) to develop and validate tools that can be used to predict the effects of a large LGF spill - including pool spread, vaporization, dispersion, ignition, combustion, explosion, and damage effects.
