Assessment of gas detection strategies for offshore

The aim of the study is to undertake Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modelling to provide a basis for advice to inspectors and the industry on the effectiveness of flammable gas detection strategies for offshore HVAC ducts. CFD simulations of a high and low pressure gas release have been undertaken and for more realistic geometry based on the Brae Alpha platform.
