Charging methods, equi

TNT-equi valency methods express explosive potential of a vapor cloud in terms of a charge of TNT. TNT-blast characteristics are well known fiom empirical data both in the form of blast parameters (side-on peak overpressure and positive-phase duration) and of corresponding damage potential. Because the value of TNT-equiva-lency used for blast modeling is directly related to damage patterns observed in major vapor cloud explosion incidents, the TNT-blast model is attractive if overall damage potential of a vapor cloud is the only concern. 

A second approach has also been used in the ionie liquid/electrode context, in which the eleetrode surface is modeled as an equi-potential smooth surfaee with a net charge. Here, the entire electrode surface is effectively modeled as a metal foil separating the ions and a set of fixed charges located inside the electrode. The constant electrical potential is enforced on numerical grid points lying over the electrode surface by solving an auxiliary Laplace equation, following a method proposed in...
