Department of Transportation PHMSA Aerosol Spray Project: Phase-0

This report discusses the work conducted at Sandia National Laboratories during the preliminary phase (Phase-0) of the Department of Transportation (DOT) Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) project tasked to better understand what happens to a high-pressure liquid canister or vessel during a fire in which an accidental instantaneous release occurs. Phase 0 had two main objects: (1) to establish a methodology for the high temperature and pressure spray vessel release and (2) to characterize the spray droplet formation. For this test series, diagnostic equipment such as the Malvern Spraytec, high-speed photometric cameras, pencil gauges, and thermocouples were used. Additionally, the effect of surface tension on the particle size distribution was evaluated with 1-liter of distilled water and with the same including the addition of 0.5% soap/water mixture. Results from this effort indicated that the plume formed from the instantaneous release in all conditions primarily included two distinct particle size distributions including 217-312µm and 0.53µm on average. Soapy water formed a higher concentration of smaller mist (0.53µm) than distilled water, potentially due to decreased surface tension with the added surfactant. Though results showed good correlation to certain particle size distributions it is encouraged to conduct additional tests like this with a wider range of liquids with different properties, which could affect the overall particle size distribution when released.

E3SMv1 simulation output from sensitivity study on aerosol process coupling

This dataset contains annual mean and 6-hourly output data from a set of E3SMv1 simulations that demonstrates the impact of numerical process coupling on the simulated dust life cycle. The simulations are documented and analyzed in the attached manuscript (pdf file). Publishing the manuscript in a peer-reviewed journal will require making the model output publicly available. We plan to use DataHub for that. The data files to be uploaded are currently saved on Compy under /compyfs/wanh895/scidac_share/cflx_2023/
