Unexpected hazards often arise from hydrogen storage and distribution facilities, and latent dangers induced by handling of hydrogen. This paper represents the results of CFD (computational fluid dynamics) modeling of hydrogen releases and dispersion at model storage facilities with simple geometries. Numerical results for model storage facility were compared with the reported data on the hydrogen dispersion. In addition, the hydrogen concentration in a real industrial environment, such as in the hydrogen energy station (HES), was estimated with 3D CFD modeling. The risk assessment was achieved under hypothetical hydrogen leakage scenarios.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
