Numerical Simulation on BLEVE Mechanism of Supercritical Carbon Dioxide

AbstractGreenhouse effect and energy shortage is becoming a more and more serious problem with the fast development of oil refining industry. Oil carbon capture and storage and the enhanced oil recovery (CCS-EOR) is developed to cover the shortage. A simulation was made by CFD method in this paper. The FLUENT software was utilized, and the SIMPLEC method and standard turbulent model are adopted to solve compressible N-S equations. VOF (Volume of Fluid) model are chosen as multiphase model. Numerical simulation is based on physical model and suitable mathematical model. A model was established to illustrate Mechanism and regulation of Supercritical CO2 BLEVE which can provide technical support to accident prevention and be used as reference for future research
