Flare

Computer Simulation in Flare Technologies

At John Zink, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation is an integral part of the research and development of industry-leading flare technologies. Engineers at John Zink routinely perform CFD analysis on new and innovative flare technologies to shorten the development cycle. CFD is also used extensively to assess flare performance and environmental impact at customer sites.

Model Validation

The experimental data from the John Zink Test Facility provide great opportunities to validate the results from CFD simulations. CFD and well-instrumented experiments are complementary tools for analyzing and predicting flaring efficiencies and maximum smokeless capacities. The combination of John Zink’s industry-leading flare test facility and validated CFD models helps make flare analysis more of a science and less of an art.
