FEMtherm supports effective screening of temperature effects on a wide range of bundle geometries and burial configurations to ensure safe conditions during normal operations. The module also predicts the impact of temperature changes during shut-down and start-up procedures.

Examples of possible workflows

• Determining the spatial temperature distribution in pipeline bundle cross sections
• Investigating the effect of thermal insulation
• Examining heat exchange between pipelines in the same bundle, for example when considering pipeline heating during shut-in or prior to start-up
• Analysis of the temperature field in the soil around buried pipelines
