HGSPRAY: A complete model of spraying unconfined gaseous releases

The model presented here, HGSPRAY, is an expanded and refined version of the GAS-SPRAY model presented by this author in an earlier study. HGSPRAY simulates the momentum, mass and energy interactions between several water sprays and a turbulent plume of a heavy gas (HG) in air; the model can predict the flow velocities, temperature, water vapour and gas concentration fields in two-dimensional large geometries for spraying in any direction. The model has been verified with the data obtained from the Hawk field experiments of hydrofluoric acid (HF) mitigation, at the DOE Nevada Test Site.
