Outstanding safety quest ons concerning the analysis of ventilation and gas dispersion in gas turbine enclosures :

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The authors gratefully acknowledge many helpful comments and suggestions made on this guidance This document provides best practice guidance in the application of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to the design and assessment of ventilation and gas dispersion in gas turbine (GT) enclosures. The focus is from a safety perspective. Gas turbines located in spacious turbine halls are also considered briefly in this document. The technology may be relevant to similar process safety applications where dilution ventilation is the basis of safety against explosion hazards. The guidance draws attention to the key modelling issues that need to be addressed, and, where appropriate, provides recommended approaches. A checklist is also provided. The guidance is not intended as a guide for non CFD-users but to provide a code of best practice for experienced CFD users. The guidance has been produced with the assistance of substantial input from a number of CFD consultants and vendors active in this field of application. Their contribution is gratefully acknowledged, and detailed above.
