Abstract
Smoke dispersion from a major fire in Santos Port in 2015 forced many people leave their residences, causing health problems and financial losses. Considering this kind of accident, the smoke dispersion in function of wind speed is experimentally modelled here. This article presents the experimental analysis of the smoke column dispersion in a diesel pool fire, using a wind tunnel in a lab simulation. The influence of different wind speeds over the tilt, height,d length, and temperatures of the flame was analyzed. Experimental analysis results were compared to correlations available in the literature. For the initial part of study it was used a scaled-down model of an actual tank of diesel storage, from a large refinery in Canoas – RS. An accidental fire in this kind of tank can produce a huge quantity of smoke, the prediction of the intensity and dispersion to the surroundings may help to guide the prevention and remediation procedures.
