For over 40 years, its models have been rigorously validated through large-scale testing at DNV’s Spadeadam site. This presentation highlights validation efforts for hydrocarbons, hydrogen, CO2, and more, ensuring accuracy and reliability across applications.

13:30 - 14:00

Modelling enclosed and semi-enclosed releases: practical approaches for facilities

Incorporating CFD Data into Safeti QRA

Traditional consequence modelling in QRA typically relies on empirical models with free-field assumptions. While effective in many scenarios, this approach can lead to overestimated or inaccurate results when obstacles, complex terrain, or mitigation measures significantly influence outcomes.

CFD-based consequence modelling addresses these limitations by accurately representing such complexities. By integrating CFD results into Safeti QRA, risk analyses can be made more accurate. This presentation will outline the integration process and illustrate its benefits through a case study.
