Heavy gas dispersion test summary report
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5704486
In this report, we describe the methods used to characterize the ambient meteorological conditions and the uncertainty associated with such parameters. We also discuss the various methods used to describe a dense-gas cloud as it disperses in the atmosphere, the reasons for using a variety of cloud parameters (in addition to cloud concentration) when dense-gas dispersion phenomena are occurring, and the parameters we selected to describe the characteristics of the cloud resulting from a continuous denser-than-air vapor release. Finally, we present the test summaries, including a brief description of the series from which the selected tests were chosen and extensive notes on how the cloud characteristics were obtained. 62 refs., 9 figs., 17 tabs.
