Abstract

The model and numerical method of leakage source of two kinds of hazardous liquid storage tanks were set up, and the numerical simulation software was developed by Visual Basic. Numerical calculation was carried out, combined with the application of an engineering case. The relations of liquid height, leakage mass rate, leakage mass and leakage time, and the relations of leakage mass rate, leakage mass and liquid height were analyzed. The result shows that the leakage process of liquid storage tank can be accurately described by the established models, and it is very practical that the time for solving the model is reduced by numerical simulation software. Therefore, it can provide the basic data for quantitative risk assessment on accident consequence and emergency rescue of hazardous liquid leakage.
