    • CFD Modeling of LNG Flammable Vapor Cloud Dispersion 
      Ismail, Maged; Swamy, Srikanth; Graham, Alex; Hari, Sridhar; Straw, Matt (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2017)
      The simulation of LNG flammable vapor cloud dispersion plays a key role in the safe design of LNG terminals and other facilities. With large scale and often complex release scenarios, the scope for model testing is limited ...
    • A CFD-based Approach for Gas Detectors Allocation 
      Vázquez-Román, Richart; Díaz-Ovalle, Christian; Quiroz-Pérez, Efraín; Mannan, M. Sam (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2015)
      Accidental gas releases are detected by allocating sensors in optimal places to prevent escalation of the incident. Gas release effects are typically assessed based on calculating the dispersion from releasing points. In ...
