Citation preview
cloud explosions (VCEs): ignition processes, release and dispersion, explosion mechanisms, blast loads and modeling of all these aspects.
Understand the basics and important parameters governing vapor cloud explosions (VCEs)
Understand the accident chain of events and important
Understand various preventive measures to reduce the occurrence of accidents and various mitigation and control techniques to reduce gas explosion consequencesLearn the various explosion modeling techniques that may be applied and understand the importance of using advance 3D modeling for gas explosion analyses
when they may be appliedUnderstand how gas explosion loads can be integrated with the responses of structures
OBJECTIVESAt the end of the course, delegates should achieve the following key learning outcomes:
