OverviewAI-generated summary
Thomas O. Spicer's research focuses on the development and validation of atmospheric dispersion models, particularly for heavier-than-air gas mixtures. He has investigated the behavior of dense gas plumes, examining factors such as wind and air entrainment through wind tunnel studies. His work includes the validation of models like DEGADIS and comparisons of multiple dispersion models against field experiment data, such as the Jack Rabbit II chlorine experiment and the Thorney Island experiments. Spicer has also explored regulatory aspects, including United States regulations for siting Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) terminals. His publications span topics from theoretical models of accidental releases to the practical application of these models in assessing potential hazards. He holds an h-index of 10 with 39 total publications and 378 citations.
