hi all, i am a graduate student doing research on pipeline rupture. there could be a fire or explosion at the rupture section if it is a nature gas pipeline. i am confusing which software is more capable in simulating such cases. please, anyone offer me a recommendation:)
The main difference between PHAST and FLACS is that FLACS is based on CFD principles. It can more accurately reflect the effects of objects such as walls/pipes/etc on gas dispersion. If your pipeline is in an open area then PHAST is more than sufficient. Well, at least that's the stance we have taken on the project I am currently working on. We model all releases in PHAST, and then the ones that encroach on congested areas we re-assess in FLACS.
Hello,
Well as per my experience, PHAST is more easy & correct .
