Fire Smoke analysis

tekEdge uses CFD as a powerful numerical modelling technique to simulate the following conditions occurring in a fire within buildings and underground structures.

• Estimation of fire spread from an ignition source
• Analysis of the spread of heat and smoke in complex spaces
• Performance-based design of smoke control systems and passive fire protection measures
• Assessment of conditions on pedestrian escape routes against established visibility, toxicity and heat tenability criteria during fire situations
• Fire impact assessments for equipment, structures and other assets

A key advantage of CFD is that it is an effective, non-intrusive, virtual modelling technique with powerful visualization capabilities, and engineers can evaluate the performance of a wide range of IAQ/HVAC system configurations on the computer without the time, expense, and disruption required to make actual changes onsite.
