This paper presents example applications of a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) computer code to the evaluation of blast wave propagation and interaction problems relevant to the chemical processing and petroleum refining industries. The specific phenomena illustrated in these example applications are: clearing of a blast wave over a wall, enhancement of blast loads behind a door blast shield, and the development of an enhanced negative phase on an enclosure wall.
As the biofuels industry continues to expand in support of global decarbonization mandates and objectives, facility owners and developers are being challenged to balance production efficiency, operational reliability, and personnel safety.
As high hazard facilities, biofuels sites should focus on developing a fire protections strategy informed by performance-based analysis so strategies implemented meet the unique challenges found at each facility.
