Abstract

As a core component in the liquefied natural gas (LNG) storage and transportation process, the operational safety and efficiency of LNG storage tanks are crucial to the stability of the natural gas supply chain. This paper delves into the mechanism of LNG rolling and its influencing factors, proposing a series of preventive measures. The findings provide theoretical references and practical guidance for the safety management and risk prevention of LNG storage tanks.
