A comprehensive model for predicting the dynamics of spills from LNG and oil product tankers is constructed from fluid mechanics principles and empirical properties of oil and LNG spills on water. The analysis utilizes the significant tanker hold and discharge flow area dimensions to specify the cargo liquid outflow history and the ensuing pool characteristics, including the establishment of a pool fire. The pool fire area, duration, and heat release rate are determined as functions of the tanker cargo variables. Examples of an LNG and gasoline spill show that for likely discharge flow areas these spills may be regarded as instantaneous, simplifying the evaluation of risk consequences.
基于流体力学原理以及石油和液化天然气在水面上泄漏的经验特性，构建了一个用于预测液化天然气和石油产品油轮泄漏动态的综合模型。该分析利用油轮货舱和卸货流道的重要尺寸来确定货物液体的流出历史以及随之产生的液池特性，包括池火的形成。池火面积、持续时间和热释放速率被确定为油轮货物变量的函数。液化天然气和汽油泄漏实例表明，对于可能的卸货流道面积，这些泄漏可视为瞬间发生的，从而简化了风险后果评估。
