We are pleased to announce that EFFECTS and RISKCURVES v12 is now live and available for download for our users.
EFFECTS and RISKCURVES v12 replace the software tools’ previous v11. V12 includes new and extended functionalities to better support the energy transition and the simulation of new energy carriers. The major updates are as follows.
Extended dispersion model with automatic dispersion behaviour detection
Ability to simulate all possible dispersion behaviour, including:
- Dense gas dispersions (e.g., cryogenic LNG releases, liquefied ammonia releases, LPG releases).
- Neutral gas dispersions (e.g., for chemicals with similar density to air).
- Lighter than air gas dispersions (e.g., hydrogen and ammonia).
Improved high-speed jet releases and ground effects
Improved modelling features in the dispersion models:
- More accurate simulation of high-speed jet releases to better simulate highly pressurised hydrogen releases (commonly stored and transported at very high pressures – up to 900 bar).
- Improved modelling to account for plume reflection against the ground and enhanced turbulence, e.g., simulating natural gas releases.
Improved accuracy
The fire and dispersion models account for hydrogen’s unique properties and show excellent agreement with experimental data.
More intuitive user interface
More modern and intuitive look to make the software more user-friendly.
Streamlined consequence and risk analysis
New import functionality that allows the use of consequence and lethality footprints from various consequence modelling tools available in the market to calculate risk in RISKCURVES.
New cloud licensing
The flexibility of a network license without the need for setting up your own license server.
