Ventilation effect on fire smoke transport in a townhouse building

Fire and smoke movement quantitative data cannot be obtained directly from a building fire accident. To obtain a great deal of information for fire study, computational methods are used. For that study two types of fire simulation software, CFAST and FDS have been used for the reconstruction of a motorcycle shop fire in Taiwan. Through numerical simulations important thermodynamic parameters during the fire have been obtained and the impact of natural/forced ventilation on the fire has been studied too . Results are presented.
