Processes of the formation of large unconfined clouds following a massive spillage of liquid hydrogen on the ground. Christophe PROUST – Jean-Marc LACOME DAGBA – Didier JAMOIS – Lionel PERRETTE. N2(g) + 3 H2(g) <==> 2 NH3(g) + 92 kJ. increase = transportation => LH2 => large spills.

Still today very limited data … • Zabetakis et al. (1961) • Makeev et al. (1981) • Witcofski et al. (1984) • Schmidtchen et al. (1994) • Verfondern K. (1997) • … and consequently limited knowledge : • liquid pool formation and evaporation? • H2-air cloud formation processes ? • explosion regime ?
buoyancy driven adiabatic • 1st STEP with LHe : • spilling device • instrumentation to clarify mixing processes • predict likely H2 explosion violence • 2nd STEP with LH2...

Real LH2 experiments : feasible but dangerous • Routes for modelling • intrinsic source of turbulence : buoyancy • iso-lines on 6 tests • vaporisation processes ? • Some reinterpretation of previous tests...
