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.
