Fig. 3. Idealization of geometrical model: case of Deepwater Horizon (Dadashzadeh et al., 2013).
The geometrical modeling of the offshore installation is shown in Fig. 3, which is later used to estimate surrounding behavior after hydrocarbon release from the Macando well onto the platform caused explosion. Well-known numerical methodology, i.e. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is also involved in explosion risk analysis (ERA) besides structural and material integrity using crashworthiness estimation. Conventional CFD approach is updated in recent years (see works of Shi et al. (2019)) to provide better calculation, which there are two fundamental parts, i.e., typical dispersion scenario is added into the simulation by considering Frozen Cloud Approach (FCA), and typical explosion scenario is augmented which interpolation technique is required to quantify the scenario. 4. Laboratory experiments in environmental and structural design 4.1. Land-based structures Files Accident inland facilities may occur in forms of gas explosion due to the interaction of several flammable gasses. Results of the experimental investigation by Luo et al. (2020) indicate that indicates that with increasing several components of gas concentration will cause an increase of the equivalent ratio of the system, and maximum/peak explosion pressure ( P max ), while the time difference (Δ T ) decreases. In the case of a pipeline explosion,
