Abstract: We have identified the following fundamental properties of LNG that dominate rollover phenomena through the model tank experiments using LNG: Experimental values of free surface mass flux against built superheat Heat and mass transfer coefficients across the interface between two stratified layers Behavior of the interface between top and bottom layers Rollover experiments have been so far conducted by using substitute liquids for LNG (e.g., salt solution), but there were some doubts in applying the data to LNG because of differences of properties between LNG and substitute liquids. In this study, therefore, an experimentation of rollover phenomena was made in a model tank using LNG, and the behaviors of the interface between the two layers were recorded by V.T.R. film. By analyzing these experimental results, new information was obtained, and a more reliable rollover simulation model has been developed that can be applied to an actual LNG storage tanlt.
