Welcome to the C-SAFE Home Page
Part of the Advanced Simulation and Computing (ASC) Program
The University of Utah has created an alliance
with the DOE Advanced Simulation and Computing (ASC) program to
form the Center for the Simulation of Accidental Fires and Explosions
(C-SAFE). It focuses specifically on providing state-of-the-art,
science-based tools for the numerical simulation of accidental fires
and explosions, especially within the context of handling and storage
of highly flammable materials. The objective of C-SAFE is to provide
a system comprising a problem-solving environment in which fundamental
chemistry and engineering physics are fully coupled with non-linear
solvers, optimization, computational steering, visualization and
experimental data verification. The availability of simulations
using this system will help to better evaluate the risks and safety
issues associated with fires and explosions. Our team will integrate
and deliver a system that will be validated and documented for practical
application to accidents involving both hydrocarbon and energetic
materials.
