FDM6300 Computational Fire Modelling
About This Course
This course module provides an in-depth study of fire dynamics, smoke movement, and computational techniques for simulating and analysing fire scenarios in the built environment. Learners will gain practical experience with industry-standard fire modeling tools, FDS (Fire Dynamic Simulator) and Open-Source Field Operation and Manipulation (OpenFOAM). The curriculum also includes an examination of mechanical ventilation design and analysis, essential for controlling smoke and ensuring air quality during fire incidents. Through a combination of lectures, hands-on practice, and project assignment, learners will acquire the technical skills required to apply fire and ventilation modeling effectively in engineering projects, ultimately enhancing fire safety measures and building performance.
What You'll Learn
2. Apply computational fire dynamics principles and apply fire modelling techniques to simulate simple fire and smoke scenarios.
3. Use industry-standard fire modelling software to configure and run fire simulations, including setting up fire sources, boundary conditions, and ventilation parameters.
4. Analyse and Visualise Fire Simulation Data and learn to interpret simulation outputs, identify key patterns in fire and smoke spread, and effectively visualise data for analysis and communication.
Entry Requirements
There are no minimum requirements however possession of relevant educational background or IT software literacy is preferred or an advantage. The learner has to make that informed decision whether he can successfully complete the module.
