Use of CFD based consequence models for accident investigations

摘要：

Introduction and Motivation There has been a significant increase in the focus on explosion safety for oil and gas installations in the past 25 years.Legislation demanding preventive and protective measures including improvement of emergency procedures,avoiding the presence of active ignition sources (e.g.ATEX), explosion mitigation (e.g.deluge, ESD/EBD) and explosion resistant design have generally reduced explosion risks, but in spite of that it is a well-known fact that accidents are still found ”everywhere” in the process industry.Several years of research in safety must have contributed to a reduction of the incidence of fatal accidents but they still occur with alarming frequency.Many accidents have occurred in the past 5-10 years that have caused severe damage (e.g.Texas City, Buncefield,Deepwater Horizon, Jaipur, Puerto Rico, etc.).
