- The subject area of this research encompasses fire engineering and computational methods. The future development of an environmentally friendly hydrogen economy requires the development of fire safety codes to assess the risks. The topic of the study is to assess the radiative heat hazards of hydrogen jet fires using an open source computational fluid dynamics code, FireFOAM. This work is significant, because it demonstrates that by incorporating rigorous combustion and heat transfer models in FireFOAM, the thermal radiation hazards can be successfully predicted. Such predictions are important in defining safety distances between hydrogen terminals and build-up areas.
