Abstract:To comprehensively understand the explosion risk in underground energy transportation tunnels, this study employed computational fluid dynamics technology and finite element simulation to numerically analyze the potential impact of an accidental explosion for a specific oil and gas pipeline in China and the potential damage risk to nearby buildings. Furthermore, the study investigated the effects of tunnel inner diameter (d = 4.25 m, 6.5 m), tunnel length (L = 4 km, 8 km, 16 km), and soil depth (primarily Lsoi… Show more
