CFD for Offshore Oil and Gas
BMT Fluid Mechanics provides consultancy services in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modelling in a wide range of applications for the offshore oil and gas industry. Areas of expertise include:
Natural Ventilation
Computational modelling of topside natural ventilation to assess compliance of platform ventilation with design safety 
criteria and operational safety requirements.
Mechanical Ventilation
CFD modelling of airflow in enclosed areas for mechanical ventilation design optimisation
Gas Dispersion
Simulation of flammable gas dispersion and gas build-up for assessment of explosion risk and for positioning of gas detectors.
Fire and Smoke Propagation
CFD modelling of fire development and smoke dispersion.
Explosion Modelling
Gas vapour explosion simulations for peak blast overpressures.
Platform Aerodynamics
Modelling of exhaust stack releases and helideck wind environment.
Process Equipment
Computational modelling of Waste Heat Recovery Unit (WHRU) performance for internal flow optimisation.
