Determining the concentrations of cargo vapours around a ship's superstructure by wind tunnel experiments and CFD.

This project will quantify the concentration of cargo vapours around the ship's accommodation and investigate how to improve the situation. Wind tunnel experiments and CFD calculations will in addition to the existing on‐board measurements help to visualise the streamlines around the accommodation. Based on these results we will draw up guidelines to the crew on how to minimize cargo vapour concentrations around the superstructure in relation to the different cargo handling operations
