Fire safety engineering: escape and smoke management design in practice

摘要

The use of more complex analysis such as Exodus and CFD provides an increase in design confidence. Zone models and hand escape calculations are inexpensive and easy to use and areas of uncertainty can be identified early in the design. The complex modelling resources can then be allocated more effectively, speeding up the design process and keeping costs down.FEDRA is currently developing improved zone models to close the gapbetween hand calculations and the sophisticated models such as CFD and Exodus.
