CFD & FDS modelling

Research theme leader: Professor Khalid Moinuddin

Research in Fire Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) modelling involves simulating fire behaviour and smoke movement. These models help predict fire spread, assess building safety and optimise fire protection systems. 

Advances in this field enhance our ability to design safer structures and improve emergency response strategies.
