Validation process of ISIS CFD software for fire simulation

Software for Kinetic Process Simulation (RESEARCH NOTE)

The relationship between velocity of chemical reactions with activities or concentrations of their reactants, temperature and pressure and the mechanisms through which the reactions proceed are of interest to many scientists and engineers. The purpose of this article is to introduce a computer software that is developed for calculation, classification and collection of such data. The applicatio...

Simulating the Swissair Flight 111 In-Flight Fire Using the CFD Fire Simulation Software SMARTFIRE

AT 8.18pm on 2 September 1998, Swissair Flight 111 (SR 111), took off from New York’s JFK airport bound for Geneva, Switzerland. Tragically, the MD-11 aircraft never arrived. According to the crash investigation report, published on 27 March 2003, electrical arcing in the ceiling void cabling was the most likely cause of the fire that brought down the aircraft. No one on board was aware of the ...

Software Development for Simulation of Reformer Furnace

In recent years, lots of research has been done on effective usage of natural gas; the first step in these processes is conversion of natural gas to Syngas. Natural gas reforming process by refomer furnace is commonly used for syngas and hydrogen production. In this paper, a windows based software, RIPI-RefSim, is introduced. By using proper heat, mass, kinetic and thermodynamic models as w...

Heuristic Verification and Validation of Software Process Simulation Models

We illustrate the use of heuristic algorithms to improve the verification and validation of software process simulation models. To use this approach, an optimization problem is formulated to guide a heuristic search algorithm that will attempt to locate configurations of the system that yield surprising results. These surprising results often help the modeler to identify flaws in the model logi...
