About the speaker
Lorenzo Mauri
Principal Research Engineer @ Gexcon
Lorenzo has a background in Environmental Engineering and 15 years of experience with the development and application of simulation engines in the fields of gas dispersion and consequence analysis. His main research interests include atmospheric flows, multiphase flows, and gas explosions.
Lorenzo has extensive experience in software development and scientific programming. He has made substantial contributions to the recent development of FLACS-CFD and associated utilities, including the Ewan and Moodie release model, entraining leaks functionality, modelling of aerodynamic roughness, and others. He has developed FLACS-CFD’s Multiphase Drift Flux solver to simulate droplet vaporization and deposition.
In the last 3 years, Lorenzo has authored 4 publications in peer-reviewed journals. He is part of the scientific committee of the International Conference on Hydrogen Safety – 2021. Lorenzo has been working in Gexcon for 7 years developing and using FLACS-CFD for consequence analysis and dispersion modelling.
About FLUG
The FLACS User Group (FLUG) is a high-profile discussion forum for engineers, safety experts, and industry scholars.
FLUG meets to discuss new software developments and safety-related topics. Its work 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.
