Abstract
Computer modelling and simulation of electrostatic phenomena is nowadays not very often used in industry for an assessment of ignition hazards due to static electricity. With 4 examples (silo filling and assessment of occurrence of cone discharges, calculation of capacitances of screws and flanges for assessment of earthing and bonding requirements, influence of sample geometry on the surface resistance and surface resistivity and assessment of requirements for plastic hoses with a metal spiral for pneumatic transfer of powders) the usefulness and benefit of model calculations of electrostatic phenomena for the assessment of electrostatic ignition hazards is demonstrated.
