Overview
FLACS (Flame Acceleration Simulator) is the world-leading CFD-based software for explosion and gas dispersion simulation, essential for QRA, HAZOP, and process safety studies.
Explosion Modeling
- 3D CFD-based explosion simulation
- Realistic geometry and congestion modeling
- Flame acceleration and overpressure prediction
- Mitigation analysis (venting, suppression)
- Domino effect modeling
Gas Dispersion Modeling
- Dense and light gas dispersion
- Complex terrain and obstacles
- Wind effects and atmospheric conditions
- Time-varying releases
- Flammable and toxic cloud development
Applications in Process Safety
- Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA)
- Consequence modeling for HAZOP studies
- Facility siting and layout optimization
- Emergency response planning
- Safety system design verification
Integration with Services
