Prediction of organic peroxide fireball characteristics using CFD simulation
- Single and multiple fireballs of di-tert-butyl peroxide are numerically investigated using ANSYS CFX. Calculations contain varying inlet conditions, scale-adaptive shear stress turbulence modeling and one-step combustion reaction on a three-dimensional hexahedral mesh. Time-resolved flame temperatures, sizes and thermal radiation are compared to experimental results. There, fireballs were generated by fire engulfment of steel drums containing 200 l substance. After a vigorous burning, the remaining peroxide forms single and multiple fireballs involving 10 % to 20 % of the initial amount. The comparison of all simulations and two selected experiments show the special numerical treatment required for organic peroxides. Finally, the numerical predictions of irradiance in 30 m distance to the fire show a good agreement for both experiments. This proves the use of CFD as an appropriate method for thermal hazard assessment and the prediction of safety distances for organic peroxideSingle and multiple fireballs of di-tert-butyl peroxide are numerically investigated using ANSYS CFX.
