Abstract
In recent years, several mathematical models for the prediction of heavy gas dispersion have been developed. Although the models have been reasonably successful in some cases, they are still limited in scope. Especially in cases where obstacle effects dominate the dispersion of the cloud, physical models turn out to be a more powerful tool than mathematical models for, e.g., the determination of lower flammability distances.
