TY - CONF A1 - Blankenhagel, Paul A1 - Wehrstedt, Klaus-Dieter T1 - Fireballs of liquid organic peroxides - recent research activities N2 - Fire and explosion hazards associated with storage and transportation of flammable materials have been a matter of great interest in the recent times. There are numerous studies on pool fires, BLEVEs and fireballs of hydrocarbon fuels, whereas BLEVEs and fireballs of organic peroxides (OP) were not investigated in detail yet. Recent research activities on OP fireballs are presented in terms of mass burning rates, substance temperatures and the formation of fireballs. Differences to existing correlations and their impact on hazard assessment is shown. Finally different approaches for CFD modeling are presented and compared.
