© 2016 Elsevier Ltd. The catastrophic explosion that occurred at Texas City on 23 March 2005 during the start-up of the raffinate splitter resulted in an estimated 15 deaths and 180 injuries. Since the incident, several studies have investigated the... Read More about A dynamic HAZOP case study using the Texas City refinery explosion.

Large Eddy Simulation of acoustic pulse propagation and turbulent flow interaction in expansion mufflers (2015)
Journal Article
Singh, N. K., & Rubini, P. (2015). Large Eddy Simulation of acoustic pulse propagation and turbulent flow interaction in expansion mufflers. Applied acoustics. Acoustique appliqué. Angewandte Akustik, 98(November), 6-19. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apacoust.2015.04.015

A novel hybrid pressure-based compressible solver is developed and validated for low Mach number acoustic flow simulation. The solver is applied to the propagation of an acoustic pulse in a simple expansion muffler, a configuration frequently employe...

Numerical and scalability analysis of an unstructured Cartesian flow solver (2011)
Journal Article
Yau, Y. H., Badarudin, A., & Rubini, P. A. (2011). Numerical and scalability analysis of an unstructured Cartesian flow solver. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Part C, Mechanical engineering science, 225(9), 2138-2148. https://doi.org/10.1177/0954406211404870

This article describes a systematic approach in building a flow solver for large eddy simulation (LES). Finite volume discretizations of the filtered, incompressible, Navier–Stokes equations were explained. The theory progresses to the description of...
