A Numerical Study of Hydrogen or Helium
Release and Mixing in Partially Confined
Spaces

Development of the hydrogen economy will require a better understanding of the
potential for fires and explosions associated with the unintended release of
hydrogen within a structure. The ability to predict the mixing and dispersion
behavior of hydrogen, when released into a partially confined space (e.g.
hydrogen leak from automobiles parked in a residential garage) is critical to the
safe use of hydrogen products.
