Abstract
The study describes a CFD based modeling of a fire in multi-storey apartments building. The model parameters are taken from a fire experiment with uncontrolled ventilation conditions. The aim of the current work is to describe some features and difficulties of fire CFD modeling in close compartments. The instrument used for CFD modeling was Fire Dynamic Simulator. The analysis is made in terms of fire development in an apartment and influence of wind velocity changes on temperature fields
