Overview

Demonstrates reduced radiative flux in oil tank fires with obstacles, suggesting implications for fire risk assessment.

Key Points

  • The study aims to investigate the impact of obstacles on flame radiation and view factors in oil storage tank fires.
  • Employed cylindrical flame radiation model and Monte Carlo method.
  • Analyzed variations in radiative flux and view factors under different obstacle dimensions.
  • Derivation of analytical expressions for critical width and height was performed.
  • Obstacles reduce radiative flux compared to unobstructed conditions.
  • View factor decreases with increasing obstacle width and stabilizes at higher values.
  • Predictive model for view factor shielding ratio achieved R2 = 0.976.
