Modelling Hazardous Phenomena

Modelling consequences of accidental phenomena

From reputational damage to unforeseen costs, increased risks and threats associated with driving industrial projects can have dramatic consequences. That’s why today’s industrial risk management strategies require C-level attention

Leading the way

We pride that our customers recognize us as having developed an integrated modelling approach, built on years of modelling complex scenarii in the most critical industries.

Why Airbus Protect?

To better prevent risks and justify the layout and the design of facilities, we focus on the following areas:

  • Analysing hazardous phenomena and quantifying potential effects
  • Anticipating the consequences of an accidental scenario
  • Understanding the vulnerability of a site to the effects of fire, explosion and the dispersion of toxic products
  • Positioning gas and flame detection sensors…

Our offering

Our highly skilled consultants, experts and trainers can help you manage and mitigate risk and predict the consequences of a dangerous scenario. Our offering covers:

  • Thermal effects (fire, flaming jet, flash fire, fire ball…)
  • Overpressure waves effects (explosions, BLEVE, UVCE…)
  • Accidental atmospheric dispersion (toxic products, dust…)
  • Toxic and/or flammable products concentration in a room
  • Pyrotechnic effects / Ballistic (explosives, wind farm…)
  • 2D/3D modelling: PHAST, FDS, Flumilog, Winvent, CFAST…

Unmanned aviation: a new challenge in risk analysis

How the safety principles of traditional aviation are being reinvented for the drone era The high safety standards of modern aviation have been built over decades on rigorous engineering like the Particular Risk Analysis (PRA), a methodology for mitigating specific catastrophic risks. But the rapid emergence of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), with their electric propulsion [...]

A security model for distributed critical systems

This document presents a security architecture model for critical, distributed systems. As a model, it is a good tool to simplify analysis on complex systems, and is useful both in assessing existing systems, where divergence from the model points to probable security issues, and building new systems, where fitting in the model guarantees past experience is taken into account.

Understanding Uber’s corporate hack – lessons learned

On September 15th this year, an 18-year-old surprised Uber’s security team by gaining access to the company’s internal networks. The supposed attacker sent evidence of their escapades to security researchers and the New York Times – including screenshots of source code, cloud storage, and internal emails. The attacker also explained their methods – presenting a […]
