Abstract The Bleve is an explosion involving both the rapid vaporization of liquid and the rapid expansion of vapor in a
vessel. The loss of containment results in a large fireball if the stored chemical is flammable. In order to predict the
damage generated by a Bleve, several authors propose analytical or semi-empirical correlations, which consist in
predicting the diameter and the lifetime of the fireballs according to the quantity of fuel. These models are based
on previous experience, which makes their validity arbitrary in relation to the initial conditions and the nature of
the product concerned. The article delves into… More >
