These consequences are measured by fields of conditional probability of lethal and ear-drum injuries for people exposed to explosion waves. An \u201cExplosion Safety\u00ae\u201d numerical tool is applied for non-stationary and three-dimensional reconstructions of the hazardous zone around the epicenter of the explosion of a premixed stoichiometric hemispheric hydrogen cloud. In order to define values of the explosion wave\u2019s damaging factors (maximum overpressure and impulse of pressure phase), a three-dimensional mathematical model of chemically active gas mixture dynamics is used. This allows for controlling the current pressure in every local point of actual space, taking into account the complex terrain. This information is used locally in every computational cell to evaluate the conditional probability of such consequences for human beings, such as ear-drum rupture and lethal outcome, on the basis of probit analysis. To evaluate the influence of the landscape profile on the non-stationary three-dimensional overpressure distribution above the Earth\u2019s surface near the epicenter of an accidental hydrogen explosion, a series of computational experiments with different variants of the terrain is carried out. Each variant differs in the level of mutual arrangement of the explosion epicenter and the places of possible location of personnel. The obtained results indicate that any change in working-place level of terrain related to the explosion\u2019s epicenter can better protect personnel from the explosion wave than evenly leveled terrain, and deepening of the explosion epicenter level related to working place level leads to better personnel protection than vice versa. Moreover, the presented coupled computational fluid dynamics and probit analysis model can be recommended to risk-managing experts as a cost-effective and time-saving instrument to assess the efficiency of protection structures during safety procedures.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/computation11020019","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,30]],"date-time":"2023-01-30T02:54:37Z","timestamp":1675047277000},"page":"19","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Numerical Assessment of Terrain Relief Influence on Consequences for Humans Exposed to Gas Explosion Overpressure"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Yurii","family":"Skob","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Mathematical Modelling and Artificial Intelligence Department, National Aerospace University \u201cKharkiv Aviation Institute\u201d, 61070 Kharkiv, Ukraine"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1707-843X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sergiy","family":"Yakovlev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Information Technology, Lodz University of Technology, 90-924 Lodz, Poland"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3676-6070","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kyryl","family":"Korobchynskyi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mathematical Modelling and Artificial Intelligence Department, National Aerospace University \u201cKharkiv Aviation Institute\u201d, 61070 Kharkiv, Ukraine"}]},{"given":"Mykola","family":"Kalinichenko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Aircraft Engine Manufacturing Department, National Aerospace University \u201cKharkiv Aviation Institute\u201d, 61070 Kharkiv, Ukraine"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Pramod, T.
