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.
