Smoke Control & Fire CFD Analysis
Smoke control, stair pressurisation and fire CFD analysis for atria, car parks, industrial buildings and performance-based fire engineering projects in Turkey.
Smoke is a primary life-safety hazard in fire. Effective smoke control is not simply about installing the largest possible exhaust fan. The system must manage smoke movement while maintaining usable escape routes, acceptable door forces, make-up air balance and a clear cause-and-effect sequence.
FK SOLUTION provides smoke-control and pressurisation engineering for stairs, lobbies, atria, car parks, industrial spaces and other complex buildings. Where the design question cannot be resolved adequately with prescriptive calculations alone, CFD can be used to evaluate smoke and heat movement.
CFD is treated as an engineering verification tool, not a visual animation service. The engineering question, design fire, acceptance criteria, model assumptions and limitations should be defined before the simulation is run.
Typical Smoke-Control Services
- Stair and lobby pressurisation
- Mechanical smoke exhaust
- Natural smoke ventilation
- Atrium smoke control
- Car-park smoke control and jet-fan review
- Smoke reservoirs and curtains
- Make-up air assessment
- Fan and damper cause-and-effect
- CFD smoke / temperature / visibility analysis
- ASET-related tenability assessment
- Performance comparison of design options
When CFD Adds Value
- Large atria and complex geometries
- Car parks with directional smoke movement
- Industrial halls
- Non-standard smoke-control arrangements
- Performance-based fire engineering
- BESS or technical enclosures requiring gas/smoke dispersion assessment
- Alternative design comparisons
CFD Outputs
- Temperature fields
- Visibility
- Smoke layer development
- Gas / smoke concentration where defined
- Velocity and pressure fields
- Time-based tenability plots
- Scenario comparison
- Design recommendations and limitations
Is CFD required for every smoke-control project?
No. It should be used where it answers a real engineering question or is required by the agreed design/approval methodology.
Does a CFD model prove exactly what will happen in a real fire?
No. The output represents the defined scenario and modelling assumptions. Uncertainty and sensitivity should be recognised.
Can CFD replace fire regulations?
No. It can support a performance-based justification where permitted, subject to the applicable regulatory and authority framework.
