Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is expected to play a significant role in providing flexibility to the energy
portfolio worldwide. Concerns over the safety and security of LNG facilities have prompted the need for
continuous improvement of safety measures to mitigate and prevent escalation of the consequence of a
LNG spill. Currently, the effectiveness of various mitigation measures used in LNG facilities and terminals
is not well understood. Numerical simulation putational fluid dynamics (CFD) has evolved
significantly to provide in-depth analysis on plex flow problems. CFD modeling has been utilized to
investigate the various effects of passive/active mitigation measures on the behavior of LNG. Discussed
