The numerical simulation of the diffusion process of natural gas was conducted using process hazard analysis software tool (PHAST) with gas release velocity greater than 40 000 m^3/h. The effects of release velocity, atmospheric stability and wind speed on the diffusion area, flash fire, explosion and spray fire of natural gas were analyzed. The results show that the higher release velocity is, the bigger explosive area is; the stabler atmosphere is, the less natural gas diffuses; the lower wind speed is, the less natural gas diffuses, and the lower diffusion speed is, the bigger dangerous area is. Moreover, wind speed also has an effect on flash fire and heat radiation. In order to ensure safety of vent process of natural gas storage, the release velocity should be controlled and atmospheric conditions should be considered at the same time.展开更多
