Fire and Smoke Modeling/Simulation is an advanced engineering service that predicts and analyzes fire and smoke behavior through computer simulation to quantitatively verify the fire safety performance of buildings and industrial facilities.
Utilizing internationally validated CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics)-based fire simulation programs such as FDS (Fire Dynamics Simulator) and PyroSim, we precisely predict fire growth rates, Heat Release Rate (HRR), smoke spread patterns, temperature distribution, visibility reduction, and toxic gas concentrations. This enables scenario-based risk evaluation and calculation of ASET (Available Safe Egress Time) required for occupant safety.
In Performance-based Design projects, these simulations are used to verify smoke control system performance, evaluate evacuation safety, and establish fire spread mitigation strategies. They are essential tools for optimizing fire safety design in facilities with complex spatial configurations such as large atriums, underground spaces, tunnels, and industrial plants.
Simulation results are integrated with evacuation modeling to perform comprehensive safety assessments and serve as supporting documentation for performance-based design reviews by fire authorities and permitting agencies.
