Abstract
The report describes comparisons made between the field trials of a suddenly released cloud of dense gas carried out at Thorney Island during 1982/83 and wind tunnel model experiments. The model experiments were a validation exercise made previous to the trials mainly as a simulation of similar field experiments made at Porton Down, but some were sufficiently close in type and operating conditions to allow comparison with the Thorney Island trials, also as a validation exercise. The project was funded by the Health and Safety Executive as part of their research programme into accidental releases of heavier-than-air gases of a hazardous nature.
