NOAA's ALOHA
(Areal Locations of Hazardous Atmospheres)

web-site

 

ALOHA (Areal Locations of Hazardous Atmospheres) is a computer program that uses information you provide it, along with physical property data from its extensive chemical library, to predict how a hazardous gas cloud might disperse in the atmosphere after an accidental chemical release. ALOHA can predict rates of chemical release from broken gas pipes, leaking tanks, and evaporating puddles, and can model the dispersion of both neutrally-buoyant and heavier-than-air gases.
