About The DEGADIS model
The DEGADIS model- Dr. Tom Spicer and Dr. Jerry Havens of the University of Arkansas developed this model (for the U.S. Coast Guard and the Gas Research Institute) primarily for simulating the dispersion of denser-than-air flammable gases. The U.S. EPA later extended DEGADIS for dispersion modeling of vertical jets. Implementation of DEGADIS on personal computers was sponsored by the Gas Research Institute and the American Petroleum Institute.
