In this study, we present a newly developed correlation for the estimation of boundary
overpressures in and around congested regions subjected to vapor gas explosions. The
GAME correlation, which is based on the MERGE, EMERGE experimental programs, shows
rather moderate correlation with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) results in
homogeneously congested configurations, however, a greater level of inaccuracy is found
when it comes to the combination of a number of realistic scenarios. The newly developed …
