This paper reports a comparison of simulations and published data from experiments carried
out by TNO Prins Maurits Laboratory on geometric configurations that involved safety gaps
of various separation distances. The Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) based software–
FLACS is utilized to conduct the numerical simulations. In the majority of cases, good
agreement is found between the simulated results and those obtained by experiment in both
the donor and acceptor modules. However, a large discrepancy in the overpressures in the …
