Fire & smoke CFD simulations
Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) modelling to verify the effectiveness of smoke-control ventilation - for car parks, malls, halls, tunnels and metro systems.
We deliver CFD fire and evacuation simulations, hot smoke tests and fire protection design. One of the few Polish practices working routinely on international markets - Europe, the Middle East and the Americas.
What we do
Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) modelling to verify the effectiveness of smoke-control ventilation - for car parks, malls, halls, tunnels and metro systems.
Pathfinder modelling to determine the Required Safe Escape Time (RSET) and compare it with the Available Safe Escape Time (ASET) per PD 7974-6.
Acceptance testing of fire ventilation with hot smoke (AS 4391) - confirming CFD results on site. Hundreds of tests delivered.
PMV and PPD indices to ASHRAE 55 and EN ISO 7730, computed from CFD results to optimise ventilation and HVAC.
Technical expertise and code-equivalent (alternative) solutions for refurbishment, change of use and complex buildings.
Fire protection concepts, design of fire ventilation and detection systems, and approval of building designs.
International reach
We have completed thousands of CFD simulations for buildings of every kind. Our results have been repeatedly validated against hot smoke tests - in most cases the predicted flows matched the test fires. For UK enquiries, write to office@fkce.pl.
