DECISION SUPPORT ENVIRONMENT FOR THE DESIGN OF PIPING AND FLOW SYSTEMS

Objective


The technical basis for both the individual modules and the overall software environment, has been laid down, including:
pulling together the physics of fluid structure interactions;
determining practical approaches to mathematical modelling of noise and vibration propagation;
setting up and getting results from test rigs to validate the models;
determining a usable selection strategy for equipment specification modules;
designing practical software structures, including those for complex data handling and knowledge representations;
designing a software module for automatic transformation from registration to a simplified model for mathematical analysis;
intelligent graphical editor already built and currently being tested in industry;
in depth analysis of industrial requirements for integrated design software.
The major cause of failures in many processes, oil and gas, power, chemical and manufacturing plants, is poorly designed piping and internal flow systems that cause undesirable flow conditions, noise and vibration. This project will specify integrated computer aids to :

-specify and select flow system components for reliability performance and safety

-avoid adverse fluid-structure interactions, noise and vibrations.
