This book develops recommendations and guidelines for safety and describes how Computational Fluid Dynamics are successfully utilised in safety technology.The text serves as a guide to elaborating and determining the principles, assumptions, strengths, limitations and application areas of ultilising CFD in plant chemical safety and security management. The book offers guidelines, procedures, frameworks and technology for creating safer chemical plant operations. It includes modelling aids and concrete industry examples for industrial plant operations and explores safety threats such as explosions and fires. It explores safety aspects of plant operations across the board from chemical plants to nuclear power plants and reconstructs major safety accidents and procedures on their future preventions.
