ALOHA: A Tool for Dispersion Modeling
ALOHA (Atmospheric Dispersion Modeling System for Releases of Hazardous Atmospheres) is a software program widely used in the petrochemical industry to model the dispersion of hazardous releases. This session includes a dedicated video demonstration of ALOHA, showcasing its capabilities in:
Predicting Downwind Concentrations: Simulate the spread of airborne hazardous materials following a release, allowing for evacuation planning and emergency response preparation.
Source Term Definition: Specify the type, quantity, and release rate of hazardous material to accurately model the dispersion scenario.
Meteorological Data Integration: Incorporate weather data into the model to account for wind speed, direction, and atmospheric stability, resulting in more realistic dispersion predictions.
