The BowTie method is a visual way of understanding the impacts of a hazard, the risk it presents, the consequences and the controls that should be put in place. This allows us to easily conduct Risk Management. BowTie diagrams also identify potential escalation factors that could defeat or reduce the effectiveness/ reliability of a barrier,...Continue Reading

BowTieXP is the most used risk assessment software that is based on the BowTie Method to assess risk. It allows users the ability to visualize complex risks in a clear way while still being detailed.Continue Reading

BowTie is an approach that integrates a fault tree (on the left side) and an event tree (on the right side) to represent causes, threats (hazards) and consequences in a common platform. The Bowtie technique offers a powerful visual tool for analyzing hazard scenarios and communicating to the workforce how hazards are released, how they...Continue Reading

Bow-Tie diagrams are used to identify potential escalation factors that could reduce the effectiveness or reliability of a barrier, as well as control barriers in place to prevent or mitigate the effect of these escalation factors.Continue Reading

BowTie is a risk evaluation method that gives a visual summary of all plausible accident scenarios that could exist around a certain hazard as well as the control measures that a company has in place to control those scenarios.Continue Reading

Simplified geometry, refined meshing quality, choosing the right model for calculations and checking for convergence.Continue Reading

Pre-processing, processing and post-processingContinue Reading

CFD simulation time consumption is mainly dependent on the number of nodes/elements of meshing, the number of iterations and computational power available. For a simple model (e.g. a cube), simulation can take a few minutes or even up to hours to complete, for a more complex model (e.g. FPSO) may take up to several days...Continue Reading

Some examples of readily available in market CFD tools are Ansys, OpenFOAM, ParaView, SOLIDWORKS, Autodesk CFD.Continue Reading

CFD analysis comprises of several component: 2D/3D model development, meshing, solver setup & calculations, and post-processing.Continue Reading
