Abstract Buildings with large open spaces in which chemicals are handled are often exposed to the risk of explosions. Computational fluid dynamics is a useful and convenient way to investigate contaminant dispersion in such large spaces. The turbulent Schmidt number (Sc_t) concept has typically been used in this regard, and most studies have adopted a default value. We studied the concentration distribution for sulfur hexafluoride (SF₆) assuming different emission rates and considering the effect of Sc_t. Then we examined the same problem for a light gas by assuming hydrogen gas (H₂) as the contaminant. When SF₆ was considered as More >

Abstract A meshless method for simulating indoor contaminant dispersion within buildings and rooms has been developed. The approach utilizes the advantages of the meshless method by distributing collocation points and different order radial basis functions according to the computational domain and evolving numerical solution. The numerical scheme yields fast convergence and high accuracy necessary for providing quick assessments of contamination transport within enclosures. More >
