Our Research Engineer, Melodia Lucas, was presenting a paper titled “Simulating Vented Hydrogen Deflagrations: Improved Modelling in the CFD Tool FLACS-Hydrogen” at the 8th International Conference on Hydrogen Safety (ICHS 2019). This conference was held on 24-26 September in Adelaide, Australia. The attendees consist of hydrogen safety experts from all over the world. They were gathering to discuss various issues related to hydrogens, such as basic research, applied development, best practice, standardisation and regulatory issues, and many more. After the presentation, Melodia got remarkable responses from the audience that led to valuable discussions. “It was a great pleasure for me to attend the ICHS conference and to share our work with many other researchers and industry representatives with an interest in hydrogen safety. The insights I have learned will help the R&D team to further develop the models in FLACS-Hydrogen and to maintain it as a useful tool for the hydrogen technology industry”, said Melodia.
