Three-dimensional numerical simulation of high pressure hydrogen jet is performed. Hydrogen leakage from the high pressure hydrogen tank has a possibility of serious explosion accidents. Therefore, it is necessary to understand diffusion behavior and ignition characteristics of hydrogen leakage. The present study simulates the high-pressure hydrogen supersonic free jet into the atmosphere to understand the dispersion process. As a result, the Jet flow fluctuates greatly in the radial direction and hydrogen disperses in a wide sphere. Also, lambda vortex structure was found to perform a crucial function in the diffusion of hydrogen.
