Fire Engineering CFD

At the intersection of fire safety science and advanced numerical modelling, our consultancy delivers performance-driven fire engineering solutions using state-of-the-art Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD).

We specialise in simulating complex fire and smoke behaviour to help engineers, architects, and developers design safer, compliant, and more efficient buildings. By leveraging advanced modelling tools, we provide deep insight into fire development, smoke propagation, heat transfer, and tenability conditions within the built environment.

We apply science-based engineering principles supported by high-resolution CFD analysis to evaluate:

  • Fire growth and heat release rate scenarios

  • Smoke movement and layer formation

  • Means of escape and tenability assessment

  • Natural and mechanical smoke ventilation performance

  • Atrium and large-volume space smoke control

  • Performance-based design for code compliance

Traditional prescriptive approaches often cannot fully address complex geometries, innovative architecture, or non-standard fire scenarios. Through validated modelling techniques and sensitivity analyses, we provide transparent, defensible results suitable for authority approval and stakeholder review.
