Abstract:

In the real industrial plants, the equipments are often critical to the contaminant dispersion and distribution. The leakage position on both sides of the obstacle has been taken into consideration. Gravity intensity index, dimensionless concentration, and the proportion of flammable and explosive area have been defined. The accuracy of the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model was verified by experiments, and the velocity field and concentration field of different pollutant release rates were calculated by CFD. The calculation results show that the structure of the velocity field and the distribution pattern of the concentration field change with the increase of the pollutant release rate. When the dimensionless number θinlet exceeds 0.0288, new eddy currents will appear near the pollution source, and the dimensionless concentration distribution begins to appear vertical stratification. When the contaminant volumetric release rate exceeds 2.66667×10-5 m3/s, the size of the flammable, explosive and explosive areas becomes significant, leading to potential explosion risks.

摘要:

在实际的工业场景中,机器设备等障碍物的存在对污染物的扩散及分布有着很重要的影响。考虑了在有障碍物的大空间中,泄漏位置在障碍物两侧的场景。定义了污染源重力作用强度指标、无量纲浓度以及易燃易爆区域占比。用实验验证了计算流体力学(CFD)模型的准确性,进而用CFD计算了不同污染物释放速率时的速度场及浓度场。计算结果表明,随着污染物释放速率的增加,速度场的结构和浓度场的分布形式都发生变化。当无量纲数θinlet超过0.0288时,污染源附近会出现新的涡流,而无量纲浓度分布开始出现垂直分层的趋势。当污染源体积释放速率超过2.66667×10-5 m3/s时易燃易爆区域的大小变得显著,导致潜在的爆炸风险。
