As discussed in previous articles, hydrogen releases do not behave the same way as hydrocarbon releases and are governed by a different set of physical principles. For example, the Chamberlain equation, widely used for methane jet fire flame length estimations, significantly overestimates flame lengths for hydrogen. This discrepancy arises because the Chamberlain equation was never developed for hydrogen and does not account for critical factors such as hydrogen's barrel release geometry, buoyancy effects, flame blow-off, pressure oscillations, etc.
