Beirut Explosion

Viper::Blast simulations help to provide greater insight into the tragic events of the Lebanon Explosion on 4th August 2020

Working collaboratively with Arup, Viper::Blast was used to complete a CFD blast analysis of the 2750T Ammonium Nitrate explosion in Beirut.

Using the GPU accelerated blast code Viper::Blast, and a team from Arup and Viper the analysis was completed within days of the tragic event unfolding.

Full details of the work have been published in a number of outlets including, DigitalEngineeing247, EngineeringTechnick and The Independent.
