Computational Fluid Dynamics in Fire Engineering

Fire and combustion presents a significant engineering challenge, as well as civil engineers, as well as buildings. We are reminded of the tragic outcomes of 'untenable' fire disasters such as at King's Cross underground station or Switzerland's St Gotthard tunnel. In these and many other cases, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is the future.

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is able to handle the complex geometries and characteristics of combustion and fire. This book is a technical tool for the construction of a modern building, and it is a fire safe (or conversely, more fire-efficient) structures.

No other book is dedicated to computer-based fire dynamics tools and systems. It is supported by a rigorous pedagogy, including working examples of different fire extinguishing systems, testing and self-testing exercises. modeling systems.

· Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is widely used in engineering analysis; this is the only book dedicated to CFD modeling analysis in fire and engineering
· Strong pedagogic features. This is a high-quality engineering and engineering program in the field of mechanical engineering. and structural sectors, and by fire engineers, safety consultants and regulators
· Strong author team (CUHK is a recognized center of excellence in fire eng). Accompanied by CFD modeling code and ready to use ANSYS-CFX and Fluent software.
