LNG Safety Research: FEM3A Model Development
This quarterly report for DE-FG26-04NT42030 covers a period from July 1, 2006 to October 31, 2006. GTI's activities during the report quarter were limited to administrative work. The work at the University of Arkansas continued in line with the initial scope of work and the identified questions regarding surface to cloud heat transfer as being largely responsible for the instability problems previously encountered. A brief summary of results is discussed in this section and the complete report from University of Arkansas is provided. All work planned for this project has been completed. Specifically: Task A--Simulation of Low-Wind-Speed Stable Atmospheric Conditions: This task has been completed, and a new version of FEM3A will be received by GTI. Task B--Verification for Dispersion over Rough Surfaces With and Without Obstacles: This task has been completed, and a new version of FEM3A will be received by GTI. Task C--Adapting the FEM3A Model for More General Application This task was obviated when DOE redirected the contract near the project midpoint. Task D--Provide assistance and wind tunnel data to DOE for FLUENT development This task has been completed and data requested by DOE-NETL has been delivered. Researchers at the University of Arkansas are preparing the final report that will be received by GTI by November 30, 2006.
