Heat and smoke detection in aircraft cabins, cargo bays, and engine compartments is a critical safety issue. CFD analysis can help speed up consideration of alternate concepts for detector placement and help quantify detection times. Fire suppression system response can be examined by predicting the distribution of suppression agents. Fluent's software includes the features you need for tracking the transient evolution of smoke concentration or predicting dispersion of fire suppression sprays and chemicals.
