Edited by Schmidt (process and plant safety, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany), this text reviews possible applications and limitations of computational fluid dynamic (CFD) modeling in the area of safety engineering. Topics addressed by the text's 21 contributed chapters include: status and potentials of CFD in safety analyses using the example of nuclear power, sizing and operation of high pressure safety valves, CFD modeling for optimizing the function of low-pressure valves, CFD simulation of large hydrocarbon and peroxide pool fires, modeling fire scenarios and smoke migration in structures, the ECOFTAC Knowledge Base Wiki as an aid for validating CFD models, validation of CFD models for the prediction of gas dispersion in urban and industrial environments, dynamic modeling of disturbances in distillation columns, dynamic process simulation for the evaluation of upset conditions in chemical plants in the process industry, and the relevance of initial and boundary conditions in treating the consequences of accidents.

The safe operation of plants is of paramount importance in the chemical, petrochemical and pharmaceutical industries. Best practice in
process and plant safety allows both the prevention of hazards and the mitigation of consequences. Safety Technology is continuously advancing to new levels and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is already successfully established as a tool to ensure the safe operation of industrial plants.
With CFD tools, a great amount of knowledge can be gained as both the necessary safety measures and the economic operation of plants can
be simultaneously determined. Young academics, safety experts and safety managers in all parts of the industry will henceforth be forced to
responsibly judge these new results from a safety perspective. This is the main challenge for the future of safety technology.
This book serves as a guide to elaborating and determining the principles, assumptions, strengths, limitations and application areas of
utilizing CFD in process and plant safety, and safety management. The book offers recommendations relating to guidelines, procedures, frameworks and technology for creating a higher level of safety for chemical and petrochemical plants. It includes modeling aids and concrete examples of industrial safety measures for hazard prevention.
