Evaluation of the Workbook on Gas Accumulation in a Confined and Congested Area. HSL/2006/45
In 1997 a Joint Industry Programme (JIP) was undertaken on “gas build-up from high pressure natural gas releases in naturally ventilated offshore modules”. As a consequence of the JIP, a workbook was created. The workbook aims to provide a quick, first pass, technique for estimating the flammable volume arising from the release of a material [...]
HSL/2006/51 - CFD modelling of Benchmark Test Cases for Flow Around a Computer Simulated Person
The risk of exposure of workers to contaminants in indoor spaces is usually assessed by measuring or predicting the level of indoor air concentration in the absence of workers. The amount of contaminant likely to have been inhaled by a worker is then deduced from the value of indoor air concentration obtained at the position [...]
