Protection of the public against hazardous industrial sites requires calculation of safety distances adapted to each potential accident scenario.
Pressurized liquid gas accidental releases after the loss of containment of a reservoir and atmospheric expansion in the form of a flashing jet are the object of thermohydraulics models which are validated with pilot-scale experiments.
Current topics address :
validation and improvement of liquid-vapor two-phase flow models experimental study and modeling of rain-out (I-e deposition of part of the liquid jet on the ground)Faculty & staff
