DESCRIPTION
The course summarises theoretical background behind fire safety simulations including advanced turbulence modelling with LES; combustion modelling in OpenFOAM as well as Lagrangian multiphase flows. A specific chapter is dedicated to the meshing of arbitrary geometry with snappyHexMesh. During the practical sessions, participants will compare different modelling approaches with the well known Steckler validation case. Further cases provide participants with the opportunity to investigate, discuss and understand more complex fire modelling scenarios.
