Safety Evaluation of Gas Cloud Explosions in an Urban Distribution Stations Based on FLACS
-
摘要: 随着城市的发展,位于城市边缘的燃气储配站逐渐转移到了城市中心,而储配站存在燃气泄漏爆炸的可能,给城市公共安全带来潜在的风险。基于GIS技术建立了南京某燃气储配站所在区域的几何模型,导入FLACS软件进行甲烷气云爆炸数值模拟,研究了储配站气云爆炸发展过程与荷载分布规律,讨论了气云大小、点火位置以及气云位置对爆炸超压的影响,最后根据模拟结果划出爆炸损伤范围。结果表明:将GIS技术应用于FLACS模型建立可以大大缩短建模时间并提高模型精度;当气云尺寸不小于60 m且点火位置存在明显约束或障碍时,点火后可能产生爆燃;气云位于储罐西南侧时将造成大范围的人员轻伤和建筑物轻微损坏,并造成一定范围的人员重伤和建筑物的严重损坏;为避免气云爆炸产生严重后果,储配站附近应尽量减少高大密集的建筑群。Abstract: There is a possibility of gas leakage during the operation of gas distribution stations. The flammable gas mixture generated by the leaked gases may result in explosion accident and bring about great hazards to the public safety. Based on geographic information system (GIS) technology, the geometric model of urban block around a gas distribution station in Nanjing was established and imported in the CFD software FLACS to simulate the gas cloud explosion. The development process and overpressure distribution of gas cloud explosion around the gas distribution station under typical working conditions were revealed. The influences of gas cloud size, ignition position and gas cloud position on the explosion overpressure were discussed. In addition, the damage level of the gas cloud explosion was discussed based on the numerical predictions. The results show that the application of GIS technology can improve the accuracy and efficiency of the model significantly. When the size of gas cloud is larger than 60 m and with obvious restrictions or obstacles in the ignition position, gas deflagration may occur. When the gas cloud is located on the southwest side of the gasholder, the explosion will cause a wide range of minor injuries (damage) to people (buildings), and cause a certain range of serious injuries (damage) to people (buildings). In order to avoid the serious consequences of gas cloud explosion, the existence of tall and dense buildings near the gas distribution station should be avoided.
