CFD is commonly used in the design process of
smoke control systems of transportation infrastructure (tunnels, car parks,
railway stations, metro systems). It is usually performed as a part of some
sort of performance-based design framework. However, the limitations of the
tool related to large-scale projects are often not well recognized, sometimes leading
to expectations towards the complexity of the analyses that cannot be met. In
this talk, we will crash ‘what we can really simulate with CFD’ with the
expectations of non-fire stakeholders. This covers not only the uncertainties
of the CFD analyses and the most common challenges in setting up the simulations
but also the costs involved with the human work and computer solving time
required in more advanced projects. Furthermore, we will try to provide insight
into exciting future trends such as the use of transport simulations to generate
traffic boundary conditions, computer-aided generation of parametric case
studies as well as the use of AI as a supporting tool in the PBD process.
Learning Objectives:
- Current capabilities of CFD simulations of fires in transportation infrastructure;
- Specific challenges related to large scale projects such as tunnels;
- Use of computer-aided case generation in multiparametric simulation projects;
- Future trends – transport simulations, use of AI in supporting the design
