TY - CONF A1 - Mishra, K. B. A1 - Wehrstedt, Klaus-Dieter A1 - Krebs, Holger T1 - Prediction of overpressure in buried gas pipeline explosions N2 - The explosion and fire incidents with buried gas pipelines are increasing globally e.g. San Bruno (USA, 2010), East Godavari (India, 2014) and Ludwigshafen (Germany, 2014) are only a few to quote. There are a number of parameters involved behind the occurrence of these incidents such as human mistake, intended efforts leading to major or minor leak, explosion due to depressurization, crater formation, spill of gaseous fuel in the nearby regions and pool/jet/crater fires. In continuation to [3] these parameters are investigated for Ludwigshafen incident in the present work. The semi-empirical and advanced CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) based models are utilized to assess the damages caused by the explosion overpressures. Recommendations are also provided on minimum safety distance to be considered for such pipelines to avoid/foresee/mitigate similar hazards in future. T2 - 5.
