Abstract
⺠We proposed a new parameter: the dispersion safety factor (DSF). ⺠DSF is the ratio between the distance reached by the LFL and that reached by the visible cloud. ⺠The results for the DSF agree well with the evidence from large scale experiments. ⺠Two expressions have been proposed to calculate DSF as a function of HR. ⺠The DSF may help in indicating the danger of ignition of a LNG vapor cloud.
