Fundamentals of Combustion Safety Scenarios for Hydrogen

Hydrogen is a powerful energy vector but its deployment at the scale considered today by governments and companies cannot be achieved if safety associated to combustion hazards is not mastered and regulated. Hydrogen leaks occur and lead to fires and explosions which must be prevented. To do this, regulations are needed but these regulations are based today on an incomplete understanding of the fundamental mechanisms controlling the combustion of hydrogen in air or have to consider new usages of hydrogen such as transportation (aircraft, trains, cars…). SAFE-H2 combines theory, high-precision experiments and simulations to provide reliable knowledge on the ignition, propagation,…
