Abstract

The increase of the population also involve the increase of the consumption of raw materials. This requires the diversification and development of industrial processes in semi-enclosed or open spaces. The carrying out of human activities of an industrial nature involves the accidental use, handling or presence of explosive substances such as methane. The presence of this gas in closed or semi-closed spaces can generate explosion phenomena. The accumulation of methane in narrow spaces is well studied and known, but the dispersion and especially the dispersion dynamics of methane released from a source considered infinite is less known. Knowing how methane disperses into the air is very important for establishing preventive measures. The paper presents the experiment on the dynamics of methane dispersion in a closed enclosure.
