Fire and smoke modelling in buildings by computational fluid dynamics.

Author(s) : KENT J. H.

Type of article: Article

Summary

Investigates a proposed smoke ventilation system for its effectiveness by computational fluid dynamics. Models two building fire situations and predicts the smoke concentrations throughout the building. The specified criterion is that visibility at eye height remains sufficient for the building to be evacuated. States the predictions show that the proposed system is effective and that the higher of two modelled fan capacities is required.
