Assessment Models in Support of the Hazard Assessment Handbook

Abstract : Analytical models are derived to describe the hazards caused by the accidental release of chemicals into the atmosphere or spills onto water. The models encompass a variety of physical phenomena that can occur such as dispersion of vapor in the atmosphere, dispersion of liquid in water, spreading on water, burning of a liquid pool, radiation from flame, etc. Analyses include the modeling of the phenomenon, solution to the governing equations, and detailed workings of specific examples.
