Oil & Gas
Toxic and flammable gas cloud detectors layout optimization using CFD
What you will learn
-
CFD allows the effect of geometry, ventilation and leak characteristics to be taken into account, producing more accurate results which lead to a more economical and cost-effective solution
-
Simulation work has shown that CFD modelling would account for complex gas cloud shapes and sizes and would induce a higher conservatism compared to simpler models
