Study on LNG Carrier Safety and Explosive Boiling Effects on the Process of LNG Releasing on Water

Abstract

LNG carrier is seen as high risk and high economy ship. So this paper is concern about strengthening LNG carriers’ safety servicing on board, evaluated risks during this process and finding out and analyzing the risks occurring mechanisms in detail. Furthermore, the LNG releasing process is simulated by numerical models, which provides a numerical method to evaluate LNG releasing consequence. By analyzing explosive boiling occurring mechanism, the decision conditions have been included in this simulation process. By comparing the results, the effects of explosive boiling have been concluded.
