The impacts of uncertainty in wind conditions on the spread of hazardous plume resulting from a jet leak during a Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) bunkering operation were investigated. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) using the Reynolds-Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) solver with multi-species transport and a transient leak model for keyhole leak was used for the simulation of a simplified bunkering station. Following detailed validation & verification, the sensitivity of the safety zone extents to the wind conditions was demonstrated. CFD results reinforced the strong dependence of the maximum spread distance on wind conditions and enclosure geometry. To quantify the impact of input uncertainty from wind conditions on the plume spread, a reduced-order model (ROM) was developed using the proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) of CFD results on sampled conditions. ROM-POD enables a fast evaluation of the plume under changing wind conditions and acts as an efficient forward model for uncertainty quantification using Polynomial Chaos Expansion (PCE) technique. The spatial distribution of plume residence time under the same input uncertainty was also obtained from the proposed approach showing its potential in risk assessment and design of bunkering facilities.
