Abstract

In order to study the influence of wind speed on the flame development process, pool fire flame shape and thermal radiation distribution after the occurrence of the full-surface pool fire accident of the port crude oil storage tank, the pyrosim software was used to establish the fire accident model of 50000m3 crude oil storage tank under different wind speeds. The numerical simulation shows that after a full-surface pool fire accident occurs in one of the tanks, the thermal radiation received by the adjacent tanks when the wind speed is large is above the critical thermal radiation value, which is very easy to spread into a multi-tank pool fire. With the increase of wind speed, the height and length of the pool fire flame gradually decrease, and the flame inclination angle increases. With the increase of wind speed, the strong radiation area gradually spreads to the downwind direction, and the tank in the downwind direction may have an indirect pool fire spread accident.
