Abstract
This article presents a series of diffusion-explosion micro-models. These shortcut models yield distances according to most common overpressure thresholds typical of the risk analysis and territorial and emergency planning. They are a good alternative to commercial expensive packages because of their good accuracy and they don’t constrain analysts to simulate both diffusion and explosion to obtain the results.
The micro-models are tuned both for D5 and F2 weather conditions and for partially confined vapour cloud explosions in industrial sites.
