A large vapor cloud explosion followed by a fire is one of the most dangerous and high consequence events that can occur at petrochemical facilities. However, one of the most devastating explosions is when a deflagration transitions to a detonation,

A large vapor cloud explosion (VCE) followed by a fire is one of the most dangerous and high-consequence events that can occur at petrochemical facilities. As the size and complexity of facilities increase, designs must consider the potential adverse

On April 5th, 2010, a methane explosion occurred within the Upper Big Branch mine south of Charleston, WV. Twenty-nine men lost their lives as a result of a flammable concentration of methane that built up in the enclosed space and ignited, resulting

This paper discusses our efforts to expand CFD calculations to include the prediction of deflagration to detonation transitions (DDTs) for various fuels including hydrogen, ethylene, propane and natural gas. The work includes validation against exper

Gas dispersion and explosion dynamics can be very complex. Blast effects in the far field are less sensitive to the local dynamics of an explosion event, and simplified techniques have been developed to roughly estimate the amount of fuel involved (i

GexCon, who has teamed with SRI, was awarded Subcontract 12121-6403-01 under the Research Partnership to Secure Energy for America (RPSEA), whereby the objective of this project is to improve inherently safer offshore facility designs. As the size of

One of the main benefits sought by including hydrogen in the alternative fuels mix is emissions reduction – eventually by 100%. However, in the near term, there is a very significant cost differential between fossil fuels and hydrogen. Hythane (a b

Explosions will, in most cases, generate blast waves. While simple models ( e.g. , Multi Energy Method) are useful for simple explosion geometries, most practical explosions are far from trivial and require detailed analyses. For a reliable estimate

A recent explosion occurred in a single burner, recirculating solids ring dryer. The explosion caused significant damage to the dryer. All of the explosion panels opened, with two of the doors on the external ring duct were separated from their hinge
