Investigating the Effectiveness of Smoke Control Devices in Fire Emergency Scenario in Hospitals: A CFD Approach

2024-11-19

Abstract excerpt

Fire is a major hazard in hospitals, often caused by flammable liquids and medical gases, and can lead to significant losses due to limited patient mobility. This study simulated the effectiveness of portable and ceiling exhaust systems in reducing smoke, heat, and toxic gases in a hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD).The study began by converting a 2D sketch of the...
