Sonix: Aircraft Rapid decompression Analysis

Modern commercial aircraft are flying at high cruise altitude (between 25kft and 40kft) in order to minimise fuel consumption and to avoid weather turbulence. At this altitude level, direct exposure to the atmospheric pressure and ambient temperature must be prevented to avoid passenger injuries or even death. Therefore all commercial aircrafts have a pressurized cabin and are thermally insulated to offer an optimum passenger comfort and safety level. However loss of pressurization does occur in service with variable level of severity, from slow depressurization due to fuselage leak to explosive decompression following an engine rotor burst.

Only in 2018, three severe decompression accidents happen on commercial aircraft:

In all three cases, flight continuation and a safe landing was achieved. Throughout the years, regulations (FAR25 / CS25) were put in place in order to avoid catastrophic consequences of a decompression event (cabin floor structure collapse, detached cabin part hitting occupants, etc…).

Compliance to regulations can be achieved through tests or by numerical simulation. The over pressure on cabin boundaries (bulkhead, partition, flood structure, etc…) generated by the sudden air flow exiting the fuselage in a very rapid decompression event can be accurately predicted by numerical analysis with dedicated software like ESonix.
