About the presentation
Title: Investigation on influencing parameters of vapor cloud explosion
FLACS is utilised to investigate the occurrence of unexpected peak overpressures immediately after ignition at substantial distances from the ignition point before the peak pressure within the flammable cloud is attained. This phenomenon was identified during simulations of stoichiometric flammable cloud ignitions under default boundary conditions advised by Gexcon.
