CFD Analysis of Smoke Management System Strategies in Multi-Storey Structures

This discourse investigates the use and efficacy of HVAC operations as a technique of smoke management, air supply, and smoke dissipation system, particularly for multi-storey buildings under fire. The study establishes the importance of HVAC operations as a strategic tool in smoke detection and control, air supply and exhaust systems in curbing smoke propagation. The adopted methodological approach relies on Computational Fluid dynamics (CFD) with Ansys workbench, which models smoke propagation in a building on fire based on the air supply quantities with varying temperature change.
