Abstract

Abstract: Accidental leakage of natural gas in residential space can cause significant harm to residents. In this paper, CFD simulation is used to analyze the diffusion law, the explosion area and influencing factors of natural gas leakage in typical residential environment and the role of natural ventilation in reducing the risk of explosion is evaluated. In addition, the simulation results are verified by experiments. The simulation results show that flammable clouds accumulate in the upper part of the space and spread to adjacent rooms. Natural ventilation is an effective way to prevent natural gas accumulation and to reduce the risk of leakage.

Key words: indoor gas leakage, natural ventilation, combustible region, diffusion concentration, numerical simulation
