Abstract
The work is performed using the CFD software FLACS that has been well-validated for safety studies of both natural gas/methane and hydrogen systems. The first part of the work will involve validating the flame speeds and flammability limits predicted by FLACS against values available in literature. The next part of the work involves validating the overpressures predicted by the CFD tool for combustion of premixed mixtures of methane and hydrogen with air against available experimental data. In the end, practical systems such as vehicular tunnels, garages, etc. is used to demonstrate positive safety benefits of hythane with comparisons to similar simulations for both hydrogen and methane.
