Experimental study on the mitigation via an ultra-fine water mist of methane/coal dust mixture explosions in the presence of obstacles
TL;DR: In this paper, experimental investigations were performed for the mitigation via an ultra-fine water mist of methane/coal dust mixture explosion in the presence of obstacles to reveal the effects of the obstacles in this scenario.

Characteristic overpressure-impulse-distance curves for vapour cloud explosions using the TNO Multi-Energy model.
Fernando Díaz Alonso,Enrique González Ferradás,Juan Francisco Sánchez Pérez,Agustín Miñana Aznar,José Ruiz Gimeno,Jesús Martínez Alonso +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a number of models have been proposed to calculate overpressure and impulse from accidental industrial explosions, including the TNO Multi-Energy model, which is used to calculate the relationship between overpressure, impulse and distance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of the explosion characteristics of hydrogen, propane, and methane clouds at the stoichiometric concentrations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the explosion characteristics of unconfined clouds and found that hydrogen/air explosion has higher peak overpressure and the overpressure rises locally at the nearby region of the cloud boundary.
A critical review of post piper-alpha developments in explosion science for the offshore industry
D. C. Bull,P. Renwick +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, experimental and theoretical progress in the understanding of explosions in offshore structures has been made over the last 2 decades, with special emphasis on the degree of implementing of the new knowledge gained into optimisation of structural design.
