Characterization and modeling of near-field BLEVE overpressure and ground loading hazards
Eyssette, RolandBoiling Liquid Exploding Vapor Explosion (BLEVE) is one of the most feared accident in the industry. Even though it has been studied for over 6 decades, many safety questions remain poorly answered: what happens if a BLEVE ... -
Drag and Mixing from Forced Mixing Nozzles on Turbofan Engines
Zawislak, MaverickAn opportunity was identified for the suppression of unmixed high bypass ratio turbofan engine thermal signatures via forced mixing nozzles to increase mission safety. A feasibility study was proposed quantifying potential ... -
Modelling and Analysis of Flare Stack Thermal Radiation on Offshore Oil and Gas Facilities
Balcarras, TimThis research studied the capabilities of RANS-based computational fluid dynamics to model large scale 2-phase propane jet flares with considerations for thermal radiation, soot development, and other key flare properties. ...
