The data also provide guidance for health and safety engineers during plant design and an opportunity to confirm mitigation procedures. The capabilities and limitations of fluid modeling for dense gas cloud behavior are summarized and standards to be followed during such studies recommended. The primary intent of this report is to provide an instruction guideline document which specifies (ranges over which scaling parameters must be maintained to produce credible) physical modeling for the prediction of liquefied natural gas (LNG) storage and transportation hazards.Vol. II: Measurements of the behavior of simulated liquefied natural gas clouds dispersing over small-scale models placed in meteorological wind tunnels provide an opportunity to evaluate the fluid physics of dense cloud movement and dispersion in a controlled environment. The data also provide guidance for health and safety engineers during plant design and an opportunity to confirm mitigation procedures. The capabilities and limitations of fluid modeling for dense gas cloud behavior are summarized and standards to be followed during such studies recommended. The primary intent of this report is to provide a technical support document which reviews the capabilities and limitations of physical modeling techniques and supports the recommendations made in Volume I: Instruction guide for the fluid model prediction of liquefied natural gas (LNG) storage and transportation hazards.Vol. I.
