Problems of application of numerical simulations for fire risks assessment
In Russia, a fire hazard assessment using numerical modelling of fire and evacuation development is carried out according to the Methodology for determining fire risk calculated values issued by the EMERCOM of Russia in 2009. The Krasnoyarsk Branch of IT SB RAS and ICM SB RAS have developed a software tool to simulate the spread of dangerous fire factors and the evacuation of people in buildings. The result of this work is the “Sigma PB” software package. “Sigma PB” is adapted to calculate fire risk and to implement fire safety training programs (simulators). The development of the software, many years of experience and observation of other software packages combined with the analysis of the Fire Code and methodical literature developed by the EMERCOM of Russia, allow us drawing the following conclusions: there were problems associated with the low level of regulatory documentation governing the use of knowledge-intensive calculation methods, and the lack of a training system for specialists to conduct and verify such calculations. The article reveals some aspects of the problem, namely the use of numerical modelling of the development of fire and evacuation.
