GASP

GASP is a pool spread and vaporisation model that has been developed in association with the UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE).

GASP’s capabilities include:

A unified model for wind driven vaporisation (evaporation) and boiling
Pool spreading over smooth land, rough land and deep water
Pool constraints (e.g. bunds)
Effects of different ambient conditions such as air temperature, wind speed, humidity and solar flux
Two-dimensional time-dependent heat conduction from the ground and convection from the atmosphere

GASP interfaces to ESR Technology’s gas dispersion model DRIFT for prediction of downwind effects.

Developed for the UK HSE, the model has undergone extensive verification and validation testing
GASP is coded for speed and efficiency, producing reliable results in seconds
Features a comprehensive graphical user interface and the ability to batch run multiple input files
Highly customisable input and outputs. Includes support for user defined fluids, substrates, result tables and graphs.

We have licensed GASP to a wide variety of organisations since its initial release in the 1990s. Typical users include:

GASP has been extensively tested and validated for use by the UK HSE including for liquid hydrogen and LNG releases:
