Scale effects in liquefied-fuel-gas vapor dispersion
Abstract
A generalized framework for comparing experimental observations of dense cloud behavior and, ultimately, for comparing the predictions of mathematical models with the experimental data is proposed. The dual bases of this framework are the definition of dimensionless variables and the use of a simple entrainment model to depict the expected relationships among the dimensionless variables. To test the usefulness of this methodology, all the available data from wind tunnel and field tests were correlated in accordance with the proposed scheme.
