FLACS is utilised to investigate the occurrence of unexpected peak overpressures immediately after ignition at substantial distances from the ignition point, before the peak pressure within the flammable cloud is attained. This phenomenon was identified during simulations of stoichiometric flammable cloud ignitions under default boundary conditions advised by Gexcon.

This presentation focuses on nuclear safety and delves into the practicalities of combined consequence analysis and structural response studies, drawing on a case study conducted by Gexcon for EDF.

In this presentation, Gexcon explains the validation methodology within FLACS and introduces the new validation GUI. The presentation also covers perspectives into the impact of validations on probabilistic risk analysis, specifically addressing how validation findings can be utilised to incorporate uncertainty into probabilistic risk assessments.

Gexcon outlines the development progress of FLACS-Fire, presenting an overview of its sub-models and thermal exchange principles, the existing validation framework, current challenges, and a review of the approach alongside future development plans.

Gexcon provides a comprehensive overview of geometric modelling within FLACS, detailing recent updates, CAD import, mesh geometry, and the new 'external geometry nodes' feature.

This presentation outlines Gexcon's past, current, and future R&D projects, and delves into the utilisation of FLACS for zero and low-carbon energy sources.

Gexcon shares its vision and roadmap for FLACS, providing insights into exciting new features in the pipeline.
