The Numeric Forecast of Air Pollution Caused by a Blasting Accident in the Enterprise Responsible for Rocket Fuel Utilization in Ukraine

Abstract

A mathematical model which can take into account all the scenarios of accidents has been developed. The code AIR-SIM was worked out on the basis of the described difference schemes. This code was used to simulate the atmospheric pollution for different accidents on the territory of the Pavlograd Chemical Plant. In particular, a numerical model was used to predict the atmospheric pollution in the case of HCN emission from the opening at the roof of the building. During the numerical experiment the dynamic of the toxic dose in each room was determined for each case study. It was established that the hitting zone will be about 6 km. © Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2013.
