272 - How to add wind to fire CFD analysis?7 oct46 min

In this episode I take you into practicality of introducing wind into fire safety engineering considerations, and focus on it's implementation as a part of fire oriented CFD analyses. In here, we dig into why wind is tied to so many catastrophic fires, why firefighter safety is often shaped by sudden wind shifts, and why designing for calm air can quietly turn fire safety into a coin toss. I walk through what wind actually is from a fire engineering perspective: an atmospheric, turbulent phe...
