Mathematical Models for Gas Explosions on Industrial Sites

摘要

This paper gives a summary of some recent work carried out to develop a number of mathematical models to predict the pressures generated by gas explosions on industrial sites. The models were developed using information from experiments studying explosion behavior in idealized regions. Further experiments were carried out to provide the information to allow the models to be generalized, so they could be applied to actual regions occurring on industrial sites. The use of these models is then discussed and illustrated for a hypothetical example.
