Using CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) to lead the way in fire protection design of different building types

In accordance with EN 14972, VdS 3188 or FM 5560 regulations, with a water mist fire protection system it is mandatory to have completed a fire test for the installation of the water mist system for those specific applications. Using a CFD simulation as preparation for the fire test is a very good idea, but what to do if there is no fire test scenario described in these regulations for your specific applications? With CFD, characteristics and scenarios can be established quickly and reliably as to how and under what conditions a fire test can be carried out successfully.
