Fire And Smoke Simulation Software For Fire Security Scenarios
Fire And Smoke Simulation Software For Fire Security Scenarios

Summary/Abstract: Current software systems address modelling and simulation of fire in various environments and conditions. They allow you to test various fire scenarios and model their course and consequences. They are able to detect the possible risks and circumstances that can lead to the damage and to prevent or limit the consequences of potential future fires. Based on fire tests and experiments, new tools and means have been developed to gather the necessary information on fires. Such a means is computer fire simulation. They are based on empirical and scientific knowledge and are comparable to real fire experiments. The great advantage of fire simulations is the non-destructiveness of materials and greater flexibility of use. The complexity of spatial geometry, the mathematical difficulty of solving differential equations, and the demands on computer performance, often include the complexities of fire modelling, but simulation currently allows fairly accurate prediction of the spread of fire and has become an important part of improving fire safety. Fundamental programs such as FDS, Smokeview and Smartfire are introduced as well as flood simulator developed in Czech Republic.
