Abstract: A method is presented for studying the hazard downwind of large spills of liquefied natural gas. The problem is treated as (1) a heat transfer calculation at the earth-liquid interface yielding the input (2) another heat transfer problem if there is no wind, or (3) if there is wind, an atmospheric dispersion problem. The results of the proposed treatment are compared with the only available area source data on pools of LNG. An example applying the proposed method to conditions approximating an existing configuration is given. The conclusion developed for the conditions of ihe example is that it is very unlikely that vapor concentrations of more than 1/2 the lower flammable limit will exist 600 or more feet downwind of the lee dike.
