VessFire Simulation System
Ever since the first version of in 1998, VessFire has been developed taking fully into account the following:
- Blowdown is a fast, transient and highly dynamic process.
- The analysis must handle phase changes, both evaporation and condensation, and flash calculations are thus performed at each time step.
- The phases are not in equilibrium, and composition of phases will vary with changes in pressure and temperature.
- Gas is compressible.
- The 3D nature of physical objects cannot be disregarded.
- Heat exchange through vessel and pipe walls is essential, particularly when vessels and pipework are exposed to fire.
- Heat transfer between phases.
- Simplifications can result in incorrect results.
VessFire is the most complete simulation system available in the market place, built upon Petrell’s proprietary multi-physic simulation system Brilliant, in which CFD and FEM are completely integrated.
