Abstract With the introduction of various carbon reduction policies around the world, hydrogen energy, as a kind of clean energy with zero carbon emission, has attracted much attention. The safe and economical transportation of hydrogen is of great significance to the development of hydrogen energy industries. Utilizing natural gas pipelines to transport hydrogen is considered to be an efficient and economical way. However, hydrogen has a higher risk of leakage due to its strong diffusion capacity and lower explosive limit than conventional natural gas. Therefore, it is of great significance to study the leakage and diffusion law of hydrogen-enriched natural gas… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Considering the accidents of ships for dangerous chemicals transportation in inland rivers, a numerical method for the simulation of the leakage and diffusion processes of dangerous chemicals in inland rivers is proposed in this paper. Geographic information, such as rivers and buildings in the model, is obtained through Google Earth and structures of rivers and buildings are described by Auto CAD. In addition, the Fluent is adopted to simulate the leakage and diffusion processes of the dangerous chemicals where the standard k-ε model is used to calculate the turbulent flow. Considering the interaction between chemicals and water, the VOF method… More >
