Abstract 29 batches of vented explosion tests were conducted in a 12 m 3 concrete chamber
filled with methane–air mixtures to investigate the effects of methane concentration and …

Hydrogen is gaining attention as a sustainable energy source with the potential to replace
fossil fuels. Due to its high diffusivity and wide flammability range, hydrogen can easily ignite …

This work is aimed at evaluating hydrogen cloud explosion with built-in obstacles
experimentally and theoretically. The flame front evolution is captured using infrared filtering …

Abstract Correct use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) tools is essential in order to
have confidence in the results. A comprehensive set of Best Practice Guidelines (BPG) in …

Edwin Drake drilled the first oil well in Pennsylvania in 1859 to use extracted oil as a
substitute for whale oil—the main lighting source and feedstock for consumer and chemical …

Abstract 9 batches of unconfined methane-air deflagration tests were conducted to
investigate the influential factors on the deflagration load. The methane-air mixture was filled …

This paper summarises the results from a blind-prediction benchmark study for models used
for estimating the consequences of vented hydrogen deflagrations, as well as for users of …

The purpose of this work is to evaluate hydrogen cloud explosion using large eddy
simulation. The LES model combined with acoustical theory is firstly established and …

Hydrogen is a promising alternative fuel which is expected to gain a significant portion of the
energy market in the near future. However, it is a flammable gas with significant safety …

This paper compares two approaches for predicting the consequences of vented hydrogen
deflagrations: empirical engineering models (EMs) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) …
