Abstract |
This report presents a mathematical model of the spreading and vaporisation of a hazardous liquid pool. The model can be used to predict the rate of cloud formation and so contribute to a hazard or risk analysis. Sample outputs from the computer code GASP (Gas Accumulation over Spreading Pools) are provided to illustrate specific features of the model. |
