About the presentation
Title: Investigations on pool evaporation and vapour cloud explosions in Industrial environments
The presentation deals with sensitivity studies of parameters such as grid, surface roughness, stability class, and their influence in pool evaporation. An overview of pool evaporation and vapour cloud explosions modelling in industrial environments using FLACS-CFD.
