UKELG is a subject interest group, which aims to promote the understanding of all aspects of explosions, including the analysis and prevention of accidental explosions, by stimulating the informal exchange of relevant information. UKELG is a registered charity.
The 50th UKELG Anniversary meeting on “Explosion Safety – Assessment and Challenges” will be held from mid-day on the 9th July to mid-day on the 11th July at Cardiff University. Planned sessions include:
- Fundamentals: Explosion Chemistry, Flame Acceleration, Detonation
- Modelling: Dispersion, Explosion, Blast Effects
- Experimental: Electrostatics, Ignition, Deflagration, DDT, Blast Response
- Condensed Phase: Mists, Dusts, Solids
- Industrial Applications: Prevention, Protection, Mitigation Alternative Fuels e.g. hydrogen, bio-fuels, shale gas
- Incidents: Investigations, Case Studies
All offers of contributions in the explosion safety field will be welcome. If you would like to attend and especially if you are able to contribute with a presentation, please complete the registration form and return it to Dr Geoff Chamberlain by the 30th March 2013, so that a balanced programme can be compiled. For further information please click here.
Keynote speakers include Hans Michels (Chair), Roger Santon (Secretary), Helen James (Treasurer), Geoff Chamberlain (Programme organiser) and Phil Bowen (Cardiff University).
To achieve open discussion of current research and development the UKELG actively encourages the presentation of recent research and results, especially work-in-progress. So as not to inhibit informal contributions and discussion, the proceedings are not published. At the request of the authors or with their agreement, some presentations are placed on the UKELG website.
There is no membership fee for this Conference. Any interested person is free to attend meetings, on payment of an appropriate small fee to cover running costs. Attendance usually includes people from academia, industry, consultancies and the regulators.
