A predictive model for rollover in stratified LNG tanks

The incubation period preceding “rollover” within a stratified LNG tank involves intensive heat and mass transfers between layers. Numerical integration of equations describing these processes leads to predicted time‐history and boil‐off characteristics which are in excellent agreement with Sarsten&...

Zusammenfassung:The incubation period preceding “rollover” within a stratified LNG tank involves intensive heat and mass transfers between layers. Numerical integration of equations describing these processes leads to predicted time‐history and boil‐off characteristics which are in excellent agreement with Sarsten's (1972) documentation of the LaSpezia rollover incident.
