Numerical Simulation of Tanks Containing Pressurized Gas Exposed to Accidental Fires: Evaluation of the Transient Heat Up

Fires may impact on process and storage equipment causing severe damages and potential accident escalation. In the present study, a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model was set up for pressurized vessels exposed to accidental fires, aimed at determining the transient behaviour of the stored flui...
