Gas explosion represents a phenomenon characterized by the rapid pressure increase resulting from the combustion of a premixed gas cloud, specifically a fuel-air or fuel/oxidizer mixture. Such explosions can manifest within various urban environments, including utility tunnels or piping systems, within buildings or offshore modules, in open process areas, and in unconfined spaces. Globally, numerous significant gas explosions occur annually, alongside a substantial number of minor incidents that often remain unreported, collectively causing extensive damage to urban infrastructures and resulting in significant human casualties. This specialized session serves as a distinctive forum for esteemed researchers and thought leaders to delve into the multifaceted aspects of gas explosion assessment and safety in urban settings. By promoting collaborative efforts, the objective is to enhance our collective comprehension of this crucial domain.
