What Are CFD Simulations in Fire Engineering?

CFD simulations (Computational Fluid Dynamics) have become one of the key tools used in fire engineering in recent years. They enable the numerical modelling of phenomena accompanying the development of a fire, such as smoke spread, hot gas flow, temperature rise, and the interaction of fire with the building structure. Thanks to CFD calculations, it is possible to analyse fire scenarios in a far more detailed and realistic manner than with traditional calculation methods.

Smoke Control of Stairwells – Importance, Regulations and Technical Requirements

Stairwells in multi-storey buildings play a central role in fire safety. They serve as vertical escape routes for building occupants.
In the event of a fire, protecting this area from smoke and toxic gases is of the highest priority.

Smoke exhaust systems are an essential element of fire ventilation and are standardly applied along vertical escape routes in multi-storey buildings.

Fire Ventilation of Underground Car Parks – Key Aspects of Design and Safety

Fire ventilation in underground car parks plays a fundamental role in protecting life, health and building structures. Its primary purpose is the effective removal of smoke and heat in the event of a fire, which has a direct impact on the safety of occupant evacuation, the effectiveness of rescue and firefighting operations, and the durability of the facility.
