Hydrocarbon fuels are involved in most major fire accidents occurring in industrial facilities. Due to the need for an in‐depth understanding of the phenomena associated with hydrocarbon fires, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling has been widely employed in the field of fire risk analysis over the last decades. The aim of the present review is to provide the reader with a comprehensive compilation and discussion of the most important aspects involving CFD modelling to simulate hydrocarbon fires in open environments. The fire sizes simulated, the fuels used, the codes employed, the variables of interest measured, the simulation purposes and the results accuracy have been examined through a wide literature survey, which includes peer‐reviewed journals and congress papers dating from the 90s until now.

开放环境中烃类火灾的计算流体动力学建模：文献综述

碳氢化合物燃料涉及工业设施中发生的大多数重大火灾事故。由于需要深入了解与碳氢化合物火灾相关的现象，因此在过去的几十年中，计算流体力学（CFD）建模已广泛用于火灾风险分析领域。本综述的目的是为读者提供有关CFD建模以模拟开放环境中的烃类火灾最重要方面的综合汇编和讨论。通过广泛的文献调查，研究了模拟的火势，使用的燃料，使用的代码，测量的关注变量，模拟目的和结果准确性，其中包括90年代至今的同行评审期刊和国会论文。
