Kameleon FireEx KFX® is a leading CFD simulator, dedicated to gas dispersion and fire simulation.
Main characteristics of KFX® are:
- KFX® is a three dimensional transient finite volume CFD code.
- KFX(R) is dedicated to gas dispersion and fires, and all kind of fires can be simulated
- KFX® includes CAD import capabilities (PDS, PDMS, IGES, Flacs macro, others).
- KFX® is interfaced with the finite element structure response codes Fahts/Usfos for dynamic structural response analysis.
- KFX® includes detailed lagragian models for fire mitigation by water systems, for instance water mist systems, water curtains, deluge, sprinklers.
- KFX® includes efficient and user friendly pre- and post processor capabilities, including options for animation of simulation results and “moving cameras” through simulations.
- KFX® is developed by ComputIT/NTNU/Sintef with the partners Statoil (N), Total (F), ENI-group (I), Hydro (N), ConocoPhillips (N,USA), Gaz de France (F), Ruhrgas (D) and Sandia National Laboratories (USA).
- KFX® is used for a large number of industrial analyses world wide for more than 20 years.
KFX® has been continuously developed since the seventies, and KFX® is also today under continuous development through R&D
Programs. The KFX® development and industrialization are done in collaboration with StatoilHydro, Total, ENI-group, ConocoPhillips,
Gaz de France, Ruhrgas, BP, Sandia National Laboratories, in addition to engineering companies, risk management companies
and universities world wide.
