Melodia is a Research Engineer at Gexcon. She has a master’s degree in Process Safety from the University of Bergen.
Since she joined Gexcon in 2018, she has been working within gas explosions modelling development and validation for FLACS-CFD software. In September 2020, she enrolled in an industrial PhD program founded by RCN (Research Council of Norway) and Gexcon. The project aims to improve the predictions of hydrogen explosions in FLACS-CFD.
These last three years, Melodia has published two journal papers and presented at several conferences where she focused on presenting and validating the current and a prototype model for computing the hydrogen burning velocities in FLACS-CFD.
About FLUG Meeting
FLACS-CFD User Group (FLUG) provides an opportunity for Gexcon and users of FLACS-CFD to share updates, insights, and experiences.
It consists of engaging case study presentations and the latest information on FLACS-CFD software research and development.
FLUG has played an integral role in the development of Gexcon’s industry-leading software, which represents more than 40 years of extensive and unrivalled modelling and validation work.
