Accelerated dilution of liquefied natural gas plumes with fences and vortex generators

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6069995
Wind-tunnel tests confirmed that a passive fence or vortex generator can help dilute a hazardous LNG vapor cloud, leading to a quicker dispersal of the plume. Supplying a large database on the interaction of LNG plumes with such devices, the tests determined the effects of boiloff rate, wind speed, and fence configuration on cloud dispersion.
