Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Modelling Provided by M10 Fire Consultancy

Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) calculations are widely used to provide jutifications for fire engineered designs.

M10 Fire Consultancy can provide CFD models for a wide variety of scenarios.

CFD Modelling

CFD models calculate the development of fire within your building design and the movement of heat and smoke around the building.

The results of these calculations can be used, for example, to determine the amount of ventilation required in the roof of an atrium to create a safe environment at the base of the atrium for means of escape.

A CFD model can also be used to justify a complex building design and the fire safety systems provided to Building Control and the Fire Authority.

M10 can use CFD models to aid in the following services:

Smoke ventilation calculations for complex building designs
Assistance in the design of Smoke Control Systems for car parks
Structural Fire Protection Analyses
Evacuation Time Calculations
