Comparative research on FLUENT and FDS's numerical simulation of smoke spread in subway platform fire

Abstract

This paper describes the methods for simulation of the fire smoke in domestic and foreign subways. By using two simulation software FLUENT and FDS, comparative study of their mathematical models was conducted. By comparison between simulation software field and simulation technology theory as well as the contrast of the physical model of fire smoke spread, and according to the smoke spread test results in Tianjin Xiawafang Subway Station, this paper compared the numerical results of the two simulation software respectively, expecting to use for reference for the study of smoke spread in subway platform fire in the future. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
