Introduction

CFD Fire Modelling is an advanced, physics-based simulation used to analyze fire behavior and its impact within complex Oil & Gas facilities.
Using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), the study captures detailed flame characteristics, heat distribution, smoke movement, and interaction with surrounding structures – providing a realistic representation of fire scenarios beyond traditional simplified methods.

Purpose

• Simulate fire scenarios such as jet fires, pool fires under realistic conditions
• Evaluate flame geometry, temperature distribution, and heat exposure to equipment and structures
• Assess the influence of wind, congestion, and layout on fire behavior
• Identify potential escalation risks and affected areas
• Support design of fire protection systems and mitigation measures
• Provide detailed inputs for safety studies (e.g., FERA, ESSA/EERA, Fire & Gas Mapping)

Outcomes

• Detailed temperature and thermal impact profiles within the facility
• Identification of high-risk zones and escalation potential
• Assessment of structural and equipment exposure to heat
• Inputs for fire protection design (e.g., passive fire protection, water deluge systems)
• Support for layout optimization and risk mitigation strategies
• Integration with dispersion, FERA, and evacuation studies
• High-quality visual outputs and structured report for clear communication and decision-making
