Part of the book series: Communications in Computer and Information Science ((CCIS,volume 176))

Abstract

In order to get the special characteristics of fire spread and smoke movement inside supermarket, a typical fire scenario in supermarket model is established in this paper. Fire spreading and smoke movement inside the building is simulated by FDS (Fire Dynamic Simulator) software, and the simulation results are displayed in Smokeview. By studying the process of fire spread and smoke motion in different cases of smoke evacuation, the laws of smoke spread and temperature, speed, concentration of various components distribution is analyzed. It provides some results for performance-based fire protection design in supermarket buildings.
