| description | The proper design and installation of systems that enable the efficient control and removal of smoke and hot gases in underground parking facilities are necessary for protecting the public and property in the event of a fire. This paper discusses how studies using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) related to smoke venting have contributed to improving fire safety in underground parking facilities. As vehicle fire incidents continue to rise globally, particularly in regions with a high density of underground parking, the need for comprehensive measures to mitigate these incidents has become increasingly urgent. This paper examines the applicability of CFD as a tool to address the challenges of smoke control in underground car parks, including those caused by fires involving electric vehicles. CFD application under various fire scenarios and ventilation strategies allows for identifying more effective smoke removal solutions, improving the protection of occupants and property. However, despite the potential of CFD simulations to enhance fire safety and smoke exhaust efficiency in underground parking, it is important to recognize the limitations of these simulations, particularly in dealing with the complex challenges posed by electric vehicle fires. |
