About the presentation

Title: CO2 dispersion modelling 

You will be presented with the summary of recent work conducted by Aker Solutions on the topic of CO2 dispersion modelling: 

• Aker Solutions take on modelling dispersion from supercritical/ liquid CO2 
• Comparison of CFD results with experimental data 
• Example from projects 
• Challenges and list of things we would like to see improved in FLACS-CFD

Stian Jensen is a Senior Principal Engineer in Aker Solutions with a master’s degree in mechanical engineering from NTNU in 2002. He has worked in the safety industry for more than 11 years, including on- and offshore QRA, probabilistic explosion modelling, gas dispersion, fire and ventilation CFD simulations. He has contributed to the development of the Norwegian DSB guideline for QRA and in the development of RispEx (a simplified tool for explosion load decision support). Lately, Stian has been – and still is – heavily involved in multiple projects related to carbon capture storage and utilization, hydrogen and ammonia. Stian has been a FLACS user for more than 11 years.
