We are pleased to inform you that the 92^nd edition of the FABIG Newsletter is now available on the FABIG website.

FABIG Members are able to download Issue 092 from the Technical Newsletters section of the website (once logged-in) whilst non-Members of FABIG are able to purchase it.

This issue comprises the following:

• Editorial: Next 2-day Technical Meeting to cover ‘Energy Transition Hazards in Motion’
  G. Vannier - The Steel Construction Institute (SCI)
• Large-scale experimental study of open, impinging and confined hydrogen jet fires
  C. Meraner, R. Stølen, E.S. Skilbred and T. Li - RISE Fire Research
  This paper presents the results of a series of experiments on hydrogen jet fires to improve understanding of large-scale hydrogen jet fires impinging on obstacles in different configurations. The experiments were designed to represent a full blowdown of hydrogen in a fuel cell vehicle. The experimental setup included three different geometries representing configurations in which a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle can be, from an open space on the ground, parked against a wall, or inside a carport or garage with one open wall.
• A comparative study of hazards and consequence modelling for hydrogen systems at ambient and cryogenic temperature
  D. Cirrone, D. Makarov and V. Molkov - Ulster University
  This paper presents models and tools that can be used to address knowledge gaps in relation to the behaviour of LH2 systems in incident scenarios. Analytical studies and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling were used complementarily to assess incident scenarios and compare the consequences and hazard distances for hydrogen systems at ambient and cryogenic temperature.
• Evaluation of the laminar burning velocity of various battery vent gases emitted during the thermal runaway of Li-ion cells
  P. Russo and S. Ubaldi - Sapienza University of Rome
  This paper presents a study investigating the laminar burning velocities of gases emitted during battery thermal runaway for three different Li-ion cell chemistries using both experimental and modelling approaches.
