  • Online Fire Simulation Training. Understand fire and blast loading on structures. Apply CFD tools for dispersion, fires, and explosions. Suitable for Engineers, Operations’ managers, Scientists, and Technologists. Gain knowledge in fire protection, flare analysis, and gas dispersion. Target audience includes Engineers, Operations’ managers, and Scientists.

Overview

Online Fire Simulation Training provides knowledge on using computational fluid dynamics software for simulating dispersion, fires, and explosions in congested areas. The course aims to equip engineers, managers, and scientists with the skills to assess structures under fire and blast loading. Led by expert Petter Aune, participants will learn about technologies for fire and blast response assessment. The training includes lectures, hands-on sessions, and demonstrations on Kameleon FireEX-KFX software. Upon completion, attendees will have a solid understanding of various technologies for structural response under fire and blast loading.

Who should attend

Engineers, Operations’ managers, Applied Scientists, Technologists.

Course Content

About The Course

Loss of containment in congested areas as a process plant in populated areas, or in terrain, differs significantly from releases in free surroundings. To capture the important interaction between released fluids and geometrical obstacles as piping, vessels, equipment, structures, buildings, and terrain etc., use of computational fluid dynamics software is required.
Kameleon FireEX-KFX represents the state-of-the art CFD tools for simulation of dispersion, fires and explosions in congested areas. It offers simulation of conventional jet and pool fires, complex multiphase spray fires with rainout ,well-ventilated and under-ventilated fires, LNG leaked with pool spreading, gas dispersion and fires, water-based fire mitigation by deluge, monitors, mist and water curtains in complex systems, optimization of passive fire protection ,flare analysis, as well as turbulent flow, gas dispersion and smoke analysis in general, all in congested areas taking weather effects into account.
On completion of the course you will be able to apply a sound knowledge of various technologies for checking response of structures under fire and blast loading.

Who Should Attend?

The course is intended for Engineers, Operations’ managers, Applied Scientists and Technologists interested in design & structure under blast and fire loading. Engineers, managers and scientists involved in design, assessment and management of a wide range of engineering structures will also benefit from this course.

Testimonials

We’ve helped thousands of professionals grow their skills and confidence. Hear directly from the people who’ve taken our training courses.

The course was exceptional, well run in terms of delivery of information, IT online course but seamless. Very interesting examples of temporary works failures applicable to the businesses we worked in. Break out activities / group examples worked very well and were again well managed by the trainer. Fantastic course, I will recommend to others! Best course I have attended in years!

CITB Temporary Works Co-Ordinator

Black & Veatch

The trainers knowledge was excellent and I liked his examples and how he could relate them to every day relatable examples that we could all understand. Coming from different industries and sectors his examples were a common ground. It was handled very well virtually and the engagement worked with his questioning and answering
