Abstract
The complex scenario of liquid releases impinging onto an unheated flat surface is also considered. An impingement model is utilised to show the relative increase in volume of fine secondary spray induced post-impingement relative to the unobstructed case, resulting in a significant volume of flammable mist. This is demonstrated experimentally by showing flammability of a 5 barg release post impingement whereas the unobstructed 10 barg case would not ignite.
