天井と側面に換気口を設けた部屋の床面から漏洩した水素の挙動について、CFD解析を用いて実験結果との照合を行うことで、部屋周囲の風況による影響を明らかにした。室内の水素濃度の経時変化は、天井と床面付近の間で成層化がみられ、計算結果については局所的な流れ場の特性変化を反映できる乱流モデルと比較的大きな乱流シュミット数(1.0)を組み合わせた場合に実験結果の再現性が向上した。風況によって、室内に水素が滞留したケースについて、天井開口部にシンプルな板を設置することで換気の改善が図れることを示した。

In order to elucidate ventilation and exhaust of hydrogen leaked in a partially open space practically, the effects of outer wind on them were studied analytically by using a CFD code in the room of experimental Half-size Hallway model, which has a H release hole on the bottom, one vent on the roof and another vent on the side: external air flowed in the room from the Door vent and then H was discharged outside from the Roof vent. The H concentration distribution in the room was divided into two layers at the height of Door vent, with a high concentration layer above it and a low concentration layer below it, forming a stratified interface. When the wind speed blown into the room increased, the combination of the Realizable k-e; turbulence model and the turbulence Schmidt number of 1.0 improved the reproducibility of the analysis results of H concentration distribution. The trial analysis suggested that the concern that wind would increase the indoor H concentration could be reduced by using the plate with a simple structure in which two plates were crossed on the Roof vent.
