Sprinklers and Smoke Management in Enclosures
Sprinklers and Smoke Management in Enclosures and provides a platform for understanding the principles of smoke propagation and spread, heat release rate, and the effect of sprinklers on suppression. Considering how sprinkler systems have become a vital part of firefighting systems in enclosures, the book evaluates the effect of sprinkler activation on the behavior of fire-induced smoke and the interaction of water particles with the smoke layer. It studies two base case models where the sprinklers’ effect on the fire curve considered. This base case assessed with two smoke extraction systems, namely, a ducted system and an impulse ventilation system. By focusing on key elements, such as visibility, ceiling height, and fire curve, the results of the study will be of interest to mechanical engineers, HVAC professionals, and fire safety professionals and investigators.

In this book, a flow, heat, and chemistry modeling application software (Fire Dynamics Simulator, FDS) will be utilized, which simulates fire and smoke propagation through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques to model fires and other flows that are important to fire safety engineers and fire investigators.
Two base case design models described where the effect of sprinklers on the fire curve taken. In one case, the physical effect of sprinklers modeled, and in the other case, sprinklers were not modeled. This base case critically analyzed with two smoke extraction systems, namely, ducted system and impulse ventilation system.
