Abstract

The large eddy simulation (LES) model developed at the University of Ulster has been applied to simulate releases of 5.11 M3 liquefied (LH2) in open atmosphere and gaseous hydrogen (GH2) in 20-m3 closed vessel. The simulations of a spill of liquefied hydrogen confirmed the advantage of LES application to reproduce experimentally observed eddy structure of hydrogen-air cloud.
