    • Comparison of Large-Scale Vented Deflagration Tests to CFD Simulations for Partially Congested Enclosures 
      Diakow, Peter A.; Thomas, J. Kelly; Vivanco, Emiliano (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2017)
      This paper presents a comparison between the results from a test program carried out to characterize the blast load environment within BakerRisk’s Deflagration Load Generator (DLG) test rig, and predictions made using the ...
    • Large-Scale Vented Deflagration Tests 
      Diakow, Peter A.; Thomas, J. Kelly; Parsons, Philip J. (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2016)
      This paper presents results from a test program carried out to determine the peak deflagration pressure achieved within a congested enclosure vented through one wall of the enclosure. The industry standard in the United ...
    • MODELING INDOOR DISPERSION OF AEROSOLS OR VAPORS AND SUBSEQUENT VENTED FIRE OR EXPLOSION 
      Woodward, John L.; Thomas, J. Kelly (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2000)
      Considerable developmental work has gone into modeling dispersion of accidental outdoor releases; less has been applied to indoor releases. Indoor dispersion is characterized by the influence of a ventilation system and ...
    • Potential for Hydrogen DDT with Ambient Vaporizers 
      Thomas, J. Kelly; Geng, Jihui; Rodriguez; Jallais, Simon; Vyazmina, Elena; Miller, Derek; Lindberg, Bill; Pawulski, Richard (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2018)
      The ignition of a hydrogen-air mixture that has engulfed a typical set of ambient vaporizers (i.e., an array of finned tubes) may result in a deflagration-to-detonation transition (DDT). Simplified curve-based vapor cloud ...
