CFD Modeling for Estimating Consequences of Liquid Hydrogen Release Transported by Road Tankers through Tunnels by Ciro Caliendo, Gianluca Genovese, Frank Markert, Paola Russo

“…Since the effects on tunnel users might be influenced, apart from tunnel geometry, by the type of ventilation and traffic flow, tunnel environmental conditions involving natural or mechanical ventilation, as well as off or peak traffic hours (i.e., night or day traffic) were more especially investigated. The results of simulations, in terms of overpressures generated from a potential hydrogen explosion, showed benefits due to mechanical ventilation and/or under lower traffic flows. …”
