DNV Phast CFD Workshop 2026 - Brisbane

Unlock the Next Generation of Consequence Modelling

As industrial facilities become more complex, so do the challenges of understanding and managing process hazards. Traditional empirical models often struggle to accurately represent the influence of complex plant layouts, 3D geometries and terrain on gas dispersion and fire behaviour.
Join DNV for an exclusive Phast CFD Workshop and discover how advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technology is transforming consequence modelling.
For over 40 years, Phast has been the industry's leading consequence modelling software, trusted by more than 1,500 organizations worldwide across oil and gas, LNG, petrochemicals, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and emerging energy sectors including hydrogen, ammonia, and carbon capture and storage (CCS). Building on this proven foundation, Phast CFD delivers enhanced modelling capabilities for complex scenarios where greater accuracy and insight are required.

What You Will Learn

In this interactive one-day workshop, participants will:

  • Understand when CFD modelling adds value beyond traditional consequence modelling approaches
  • Learn how to model gas dispersion and fire scenarios in complex environments
  • Assess the impact of buildings, equipment congestion, and terrain on hazard outcomes
  • Visualize concentration, temperature, and thermal radiation profiles in greater detail
  • Gain practical experience through hands-on exercises based on real industry case studies
  • Network with DNV experts and process safety community in Australia

Why Attend?

Gain practical insights into how Phast CFD can help you model complex dispersion and fire scenarios with greater accuracy and confidence. Through expert-led sessions and hands-on case studies, you will learn how to account for 3D geometries, terrain, and complex environmental conditions, enabling better consequence modelling, more informed engineering decisions, and improved process safety outcomes.
