About the speakers
Lorenzo Mauri
Principal Research Engineer @ Gexcon
Lorenzo has a background in Environmental Engineering and 15 years of experience with the development and application of simulation engines in the fields of gas dispersion and consequence analysis. His main research interests include atmospheric flows, multiphase flows, and gas explosions.
Lorenzo has extensive experience in software development and scientific programming. He has made substantial contributions to the recent development of FLACS and associated utilities, including the Ewan and Moodie release model, entraining leaks functionality, modelling of aerodynamic roughness, and others. He has developed FLACS’s Multiphase Drift Flux solver to simulate droplet vaporization and deposition.
In the last 3 years, Lorenzo has authored four publications in peer-reviewed journals. He is part of the scientific committee of the International Conference on Hydrogen Safety – 2021. Lorenzo has been working in Gexcon for 7 years developing and using FLACS for consequence analysis and dispersion modelling.
Olav Roald Hansen
CEO and founder @ HYEX Safety AS
Olav has a physics degree from NTNU and has worked with explosion modelling and FLACS since 1993. In the 1990s he was a FLACS developer with a particular focus on validation against experiments and made a FLACS training course. In the 2000s he was Gexcon R&D Director in charge of the FLACS development team and global sales until he started Gexcon US in 2008-2010.
Since 2012 Olav has worked as a consultant for GL (2012-2013) and LR (2014-2020). After starting HYEX Safety in June 2020 he has been working full-time with consulting work within hydrogen safety. Model validation and accuracy in CFD predictions have been a key focus in his work, and he is the author of numerous articles related to FLACS.
