Above a hydrogen concentration of more than 4 volume percent (the so-called lower flammability limit or LFL), the hydrogen-air mixture can be ignited and is therefore a potential risk.For safety reasons a hazardous area is usually defined as the region with volume percentages above 25% of the LFL. Computational Fluid Dynamics is a great tool …

We frequently use OpenFOAM, an open-source software framework for computational methods based on the Finite Volume method. Although you can build your own solvers, it already comes with a range of different solvers for all kinds of fluid flow and structural mechanics problems. OpenFOAM 11 from the OpenFOAM foundation has modular solvers, which can be …
