IMPACT OF SELECTED FIRE-MODELLING INPUT PARAMETERS ON THE SAFE AVAILABLE EVACUATION TIME

Matej KADLIC, Vladimír MÓZER

Krízový Manažment 2017, 16(1):5-13 | DOI: 10.26552/krm.C.2017.1.5-13  

This article deals with the selected parameters affecting results of CFD computer fire models, namely the Fire Dynamics Simulator. The motivation for this analysis comes from the increasing use of the computer fire models and associated potential for error due to not-so-obvious importance of many input parameters. This paper is focused on the grid resolution, compartment geometry and fire specification in relation to the available safe evacuation time. It has been found that it is not possible to predict the effect of these parameters accurately by estimation only. This may affect design assumptions, e.g. increasing the area of smoke reservoir may...

Krízový Manažment 2017, 16(1):69-73 | DOI: 10.26552/krm.C.2017.1.69-73  

The crisis situation is, as a result of the conceptual sign itself, in most cases, a very difficult predictable phenomenon, something unusual, distinct from an event that is regularly and predictably recurrent and which, if it occurs, threatens a large number of inhabitants, property and the environment. The public's preparedness for extraordinary events can best be achieved if the objectives of education are well known, as well as the content of education, forms, methods and means of education, as well as the expected results. In order to achieve the best possible learning outcomes, it is necessary to analyse current practical solutions to prepare...
