Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations in Phast and Safeti

CFD models increase the understanding of the scope and impact of accidental releases of hazardous materials. The simulations help design and test emergency response systems, evacuation routes, proper placement of fire barriers, ventilation and other mitigations in a cost-effective way.

Phast offers three CFD add-ons, powered by KFX software, that can significantly increase understanding of these releases. The add-ons are easier to learn than dedicated CFD packages and they ultimately help protect lives and infrastructure during emergencies.

In this webinar, we:

• Demonstrated the value in using jet fire, pool fire and dispersion CFD simulations alongside traditional consequence modelling in Phast with some real-world customer examples
• Provided an in-depth look at CFD functionality in Phast
• Showed how CFD results can be imported into Safeti so contribution to risk can be assessed
• Explained licensing models and the plans to integrate more CFD functionality into Phast
