Abstract
Vapour Explosions are hazards in several industries which have caused loss of life, and the destruction of expensive plant and equipment. Generally the metals processing industries are at most risk, but others including paper manufacturing, nuclear, and liquefied natural gas transport are affected. While the phenomena is well known, many of the detailed physical processes inherent to the phenomena remain unresolved. If these processes can be better understood, then the effects of vapour explosions may be mitigated. ANSTO is undertaking research into some of the fundamental processes occurring in vapour explosion phenomena.
