Abstract
The present study reports a modular phenomenological model for predicting peak pressure in vented explosions. Modelling assumptions are explained in detail and model components are validated against experimental and computational results. A basic version of this model is reported in our earlier paper (Sinha et al., 2019). Previous experimental and modelling efforts on vented explosion have primarily focussed on idealized condition of empty container with uniformly mixed fuel. However, in real accidents, there are often obstacles in flame path, and a leaked fuel may not get enough time to mix uniformly. These realistic accidental scenarios are accounted for in this extended model. First the model components are assessed using available experimental results. Comparison of flame arrival time and flame propagation inside the enclosure are made, which demonstrate the ability of the model to capture flame propagation accurately. Suggestions are also made for vent panel installation to reduce peak overpressure in accidental explosions.
