Speaker: Dr.-Ing. Ulrich Bielert Numerical simulations
can improve the safety of hydrogen systems
With increasing use of hydrogen systems the risks
of accidential release of hydrogen in public locations
must be addressed. Numerical tools developed at
the Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe GmbH provide detailed
information about the distribution of hydrogen
after an accidential release and about possible
combustion regimes and consequences.
Dr.-Ing. Ulrich Bielert
In his presentation
Dr. Bielert pointed out the necessity to
take into account safety aspects when introducing
Hydrogen into the main market. He demonstrated
how explosion risks can be reduced by a
"defence in depth approach". Core
of the risk assessment at the research centre
is the use of validated numerical simulation
tools.
