Assessment of Tunnel Explosion Mitigation Techniques for Fire Scenarios Involving Hydrogen Tank Rupture by Volodymyr Shentsov, Luisa Giuliani, Wenqian Liu, Frank Markert

“…The review highlights that while measures such as blast walls or energy-absorbing barriers can significantly attenuate blast pressures, an integrated approach addressing both blast load reduction and structural resilience is essential. This paper outlines how coupled computational fluid dynamics–finite element method (CFD–FEM) simulations can evaluate these mitigation methods, and we discuss design considerations (e.g., optimising barrier placement and tunnel geometry) for enhanced safety. …”
