摘要:The liquefied chlorine release is the most frequent accident in hazardous materials ( HAZMAT) releases. A typical small-scale accidental release of chlorine was simulated using a FLUENT code (CFD software). In addition, consequences of continuous and instantaneous release scenarios were investigated here. Case studies showed that, for a continuous release scenario, buildings and eddies would slow down the chlorine dispersion and resulted in a much lower concentration behind the buildings than other zones. As for an instantaneous release scenario, chlorine was trapped in the eddy zones. Inside these zones, the presence of chlorine lasted longer. Further, cause and effect diagram was adopted here to conduct cause-consequence analysis. Also, risk reduction measures and accident prevention strategies resulted from accident causal analysis were proposed for the emergency management and regulatory circles.
