Building ventilation and fire / smoke CFD analyses:

The recent Grenfell Tower fire tragedy has highlighted the importance of fire safety engineering in modern building design. TriVista has recently performed an interesting CFD analysis project predicting both internal building ventilation under specified operating conditions and also smoke contamination in a worst-case fire scenario. The ventilation section of this study had the objective of…
