On the Application of FLUENT for Numerical Simulation NG Dispersion

Article Preview

Abstract:

Aiming at studying liquefied natural gas discharging on water and evaporated natural gas dispersion, based on the Monin-Obukhov similarity theory, using FLUENT to simulate the Coyote series 3 and 5. It is validated that FLUENT simulation results closer to experimental values than SLAB and DEGADIS model simulation results. And it is simulated the NG dispersing on water by setting higher wall heat conduction rate and simulated LNG discharging on ground by using lower LNG evaporation rate. By comparing the results, it is proved that LNG spilling and dispersion on water would get higher volume concentration than which occurs on ground.
