Abstract:
BLEVEs as phenomena are defined as extremely violent explosions that may occur when liquids and highdensity fluids under pressure are subject to a failure in the containing vessel. Some examples are given and the theory of BLEVEs explained. Oil recovery and carbon capture and storage have made BLEVE relevant today.
