Storage tanks are vulnerable to the synergistic effect of fire heat radiation and explosion
shock wave during domino accidents in hydrocarbon storage tank farms. The available …

Processing facilities are faced with spatial-temporal dependent multiple-hazards. These
hazards could cause catastrophic consequences. A novel vulnerability model called the “fire …

Abstract s afety and security in chemical industrial plants require special attention due to the
related concentrated hazards. Actually, primary accidents such as fire and explosions, can …

The synergistic effect of explosion and fire (SEEF) is one of the challenges of domino effect
risk assessment for petrochemical storage tank farms. However, the domino effect …

Domino effect occurrence is a common event in hydrocarbon storage tank farms. Most of
these occurrences are caused by the combined effects of fire and explosion. To ensure …

Fires spreading at limited distances one to the other can cause changes in burning rates
and flame shapes due to synergistic effects. These may result in more severe consequences …

Fires are major primary events in domino effects in chemical and process industries, and
released thermal radiation is a main cause of accident propagation. In fire-induced domino …

Modeling the spatial-temporal evolution of domino effects and analyzing its risk could guide
risk prevention and control. In the present work, a novel approach is proposed to model the …

The occurrence of a chain reaction from blast on atmospheric storage tanks in oil and
chemical facilities is hard to predict. The current French practice for SEVESO facilities …

Domino effects are severe accident scenarios affecting storage tanks and are often initiated
by pool fires. Flame engulfment and heat radiation are the two major sources triggering …
