About the presentation
In this presentation, Dr Leñero will discuss how advanced modelling using CFD can be used to understand the hazards from potential LH2 release scenarios while refuelling an aircraft and demonstrate how FLACS can be used to simulate liquid hydrogen spills and their subsequent consequences (gas dispersion, fire, explosion).
These results can then be used to answer questions and provide guidance on issues pertaining to the location and layout of hydrogen refuelling “hubs” at airports, exclusion zones while refuelling aircraft, procedures for refuelling, and appropriate emergency response in case of an accidental release of hydrogen.
