N2 - The numerical simulation of hydrogen dispersion in a partially open space is performed in this paper. The transient behavior of hydrogen and the process of accumulation in the space are discussed. Also, the effects of changing vent positions, vent conditions and surrounding atmospheric currents on the distribution of hydrogen concentrations are shown. Based on the results, conditions for preventing the dispersion and accumulation of hydrogen in the space, and the importance of incorporating a relationship with the outside environment in the computation, are discussed.
