01
The threat of fire and potential pollutant spread poses substantial risks to individuals, structures and the environment. Understanding propagation dynamics is vital for efficient risk management and to undertake protective measures.
This case study demonstrates a simulated car fire incident in a Milan city block.
The video illustrates a 10-minute transient showcasing the transport and diffusion of smoke. Clouds depict concentrations ranging from 10 µg/m³ to 100 mg/m³, while the ground map shows the diffusion at ground level in log scale.
02
Smoke propagation in indoor environments is extremely threatening for the safety of building occupants in case of fire.
In this case, we conducted a simulation to investigate the dispersion of smoke and carbon monoxide resulting from a car fire at a train station, and how it would possibly impact the evacuation plan.
The 5-min transient simulation shows how the heated smoke ascends from the platform level to the concourse level using various routes, including escalators.
The 3D model in IFC format was generated by Revit.
