Fire safety distances for open pool fires

Research on Safety Spacing of Chemical Storage Tanks Based on Accident Consequence and Risk Analysis

“…Marangon et al [1] proposed the "safe distance" analysis process and method for analyzing fuel hydrogen storage facilities. S. Sudheer et al [2] analyzed the safety distance based on thermal radiation, obtained pool fire thermal images by thermal infrared imaging instrument, calculated the irradiance of different positions, and determined the critical heat flux limit for humans. J.L.…”

Developing a model of tank cooling by water jets from hydraulic monitors under conditions of fire

“…The feature of a fire in banking is a possibility of a convective way of transferring the heat from a fire in the case of a close location of a spill to a tank. Paper [7] is devoted to a safe distance of combustible fluid from a fire. In paper [8], a safe distance between the tanks, which make cascade spreading of a fire impossible, was determined, but this distance is longer than the one used in practice.…”

“…for the range of values of velocity w=(10÷20) m/s. Analysis of expression (7) shows that in the specified range of velocity, the coefficient of water use takes the value of 0.21÷0.33, in this case the coefficient of use decreases at an increase in the jet velocity. Jet velocity at the moment of hitting a tank wall can be found by the differentiation of expression (4):…”

Computational Assessment of the Hazardous Release Dispersion from a Diesel Pool Fire in a Complex Building’s Area

“…A pool fire accident may occur in a road between urban building blocks. Several studies in an open space pool fire accident exist [29][30][31][32][33][34][35], as well as for a pollutant dispersion in a street canyon [17,18,36,37]. However, only a few of them focus on the study of a fire accident inside a street canyon [21,[38][39][40][41][42].…”
