Gas Dispersion Studies


Totally 50 dispersion simulations were carried out. The following parameters defined each leak scenario: - wind direction - wind speed - leak direction - leak rate - leak duration - leak position X - leak position Y - leak position Z

Gas Dispersion Studies

Gas Dispersion Studies


The model represents: - main structural members of all modules - bigger equipment items - main pipelines Geometry is supplemented by extra piping to achieve a realistic congestion. Presence of surrounding topside structures affects: - wind flow pattern - gas cloud build-up - magnitude of explosion loads The FLACS model of the entire topside

Gas Cloud Characteristics Studies


Dispersion scenarios Cloud Position Many of the gas clouds build up in adjacent modules. Position of a gas cloud is determined mostly by the wind direction and to a much smaller degree by leak direction.

- Gas Volume, Gas Concentration - Gas Cloud Position (X, Y, Z) - Gas Cloud Size (X, Y, Z)
