Fire Ventilation Evaluation Model in the Design Process Using Computational Fluid Dynamics
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The article describes the problems associated with the proper evaluation of fire ventilation. A review of literature related to the tenability criteria arising from the evacuation of people and the possibility of operations of rescue teams is presented. Based on the course of the construction process, a model for the verification of fire ventilation using computational fluid dynamics is proposed. The different phases of the project are described. Based on a case study of a car park analysis, possible solutions in the construction process are presented. The proposed model allows consistent and iterative project management, in which each step (from concept to construction) is verified against fire safety requirements. This significantly increases confidence that the final solution will not only comply with regulations, but also be optimal in terms of cost, usability and effectiveness of smoke and fire protection.
