| Summary |
|---|
| Accident modeling in the Czech Republic has a long tradition among safety-oriented fields. This course is designed for engineers aiming to work in a certain area of industrial safety. The course offers a unique opportunity to get acquainted with world-renowned computing models. In fact, these skills are used by professionals in the fields of fire prevention, explosion and toxic leakage, but also in risk analysis and prevention. A variety of examples of real crashes are used to demonstrate how calculations are to be used properly. Although these calculations are usually carried out by hermetically sealed computer codes, their conceptual knowledge will help to quickly orientate and avoid mistakes in accepting absurd, overly conservative or overly optimistic results. After completing the course, it is desirable to use contacts in organizations providing similar expert services abroad. |
| Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit |
|---|
| The graduate of the course is able to understand different levels of modeling with the possibility of using the latest didactic and computer technology and modern software products. It will be competent to select and apply the appropriate model and its level to estimate the consequences of various types of accidents in industry. They will be able to mathematically describe physical phenomena and to estimate the value of heat radiation from a fire, the maximum explosion pressure, the path and distance of the fragments, or the evolution of the concentration of a toxic substance in the atmosphere. |
