Analysis of the purge time values for pressurized enclosure using a parameterized CFD model

Abstract

The use of computerized simulations offers definite advantages in understanding phenomena and analysing parameters that have influence during a complex process, more can provide on the basis of scenarios valuable information on the effects for physical processes analysed. Thus, in this paper, using mathematical models and numerical solutions based on physical principles and functions with assumed accuracy are analyse, using CFD (Computational fluids dynamics), the values of purge time for pressurized enclosure, resulting in the action of post-processing of construction for graphs and colour icons, in order to render images as representative possible both for the design phase of the equipment with protection type pressurization “p” and for their evaluation for certification. Determining the values of purging time by using computer simulations is particularly important for avoiding catastrophic events caused by explosions that can lead to human casualties, significant material losses or have significant environmental consequences.
