| CFD and similar modeling techniques have been used for characterizing fires and explosions and are being used more frequently for predicting the performance of protection systems. The newest models are able to address more complex geometries and have diverse uses such as optimizing testing projects, post-explosion forensic analysis, process design and protection design.
The session invites modeling papers on the following topics; gas explosions, dust explosions, venting, suppression or isolation protection, model development, model validation, successful application of modeling. |
