139 - Wind and Fire Interactions for Safer Open Car Park Design


Listen Later

I've finished my first large research grant! I guess that makes me a 'real' scientist now. Came here today to share some most interesting aspects of this project with you. Not going to bore you all about the wind and fire interaction physics (hey, there is an entire episode 50 devoted to that!), but rather talk about challenges and stuff that perhaps will matter if you would like to engineer a case similar to one we have studied.

So in this podcast episode, we will go into:

  • How our framework for wind and fire coupled modelling worked out in practice (read more about the framework here Wind and Fire Coupled Modelling part 1 - Literature Review and here Wind and Fire Coupled Modelling part 2 - Best Practice Guidelines )
  • How we had to go miles to modify the ABL profile so our wind predictions at the location of the fire are spot on 
  • A bit on design fire choice, but plenty more in here: 135 - Contemplating a design fire for car parks
  • And most importantly, how we handled the mass amount of data generated in 336 CFD simulations within the project. Our unique approach to statistics, indexing and risk.

The promised webinars will be uploaded soon, and you will find the link here.
