Abstract

This work describes the modelling of liquid hydrogen release experiments using the ADREA-HF 3-D time dependent finite volume code for cloud dispersion, jointly developed by DEMOKRITOS and JRC-Ispra. The experiments were performed by Batelle Ingenieurtechnik for BAM (Bundesanstalt fur Materialforschung und Prufung), Berlin, in the frame of the Euro-Quebec-Hydro-Hydrogen-Pilot-Project and they mainly deal with LH2 near ground releases between buildings. In the present study, the experimental trial #5 was assumed for simulation due to the fact that in this release the largest number of sensor readings were obtained. The simulations illustrated the complex behaviour of LH2 dispersion in presence of buildings, characterized by complicated wind patterns, plume back flow near the source, dense gas behaviour at near range and significant buoyant behaviour at the far range. The simulations showed the strong effect of ground heating in the LH2 dispersion. The model also revealed major features of the dispersion that had to do with the "dense" behaviour of the cold hydrogen and the buoyant behaviour of the "warming-up" gas as well as the interaction of the building and the release wake. Such a behaviour was in qualitative and even quantitative agreement with the experiment. The results are given in terms of concentration time series, scatter plots, contour plots, wind field vector plots and 3-D concentration wireframes. Given all experiment uncertainties, the model gives reasonable results on concentrations levels.
