CSE has widespread experience using the latest CFD codes for both analysis and design.  CSE has previously used CFD models in performance-based design to analyze an array of fire engineering issues including fire toxicity, sprinkler and smoke detector response to specific fires; atrium smoke-control systems; vehicle fires (including the modeling of flame spread and thermal injury to passengers); smoke dispersion; water mist dispersion; and the effect of room geometries on smoke movement. 

Additional Selective Experience includes:

bullet
Performed stochastic simulations of radiative output of turbulent pool fires.
bullet
Performed fire hazard analyses to determine time to HEPA filter failure as a result of fire in a radioactive material processing facility and to develop technical requirements for halon-alternative suppression systems in computer facilities, aircraft hush houses, and Navy frigates.
bullet
Developed a software tool to assist in the selection of halon-alternative suppression systems.
bullet
Developed an analytical model to predict surface temperatures required for ignition (due to self-heating) of unprocessed cotton due to asymmetric heating.
bullet
Developed and validated a smoke detector activation algorithm for incorporation in FDS.
bullet

Performed analytic examinations of the fluid dynamics within large atrium spaces using the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) to determine the minimum necessary requirements for a smoke control system to maintain a safe environment for occupant egress.
