Validation of CFD codes for risk analysis of accidental hydrocarbon fires
Francisco de Borja Rengel Darnaculleta
Abstract:Accidental releases of flammable hydrocarbons in chemical process industries can trigger severe hazards: explosions, fires, and dispersion of toxic vapour clouds. Explosions and toxic releases may injure people within large damage radius; however, fires are the most common accidental events that may lead to catastrophic consequences in terms of life and property losses.
Within this framework, the prediction of the related-fire effects may significantly contribute to identify measures needed to eliminate … Show more
