Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS): Understanding Fire and Smoke Simulation in Modern Fire Safety  The field of fire safety engineering has developed in numerous ways due to the improvement of simulation technologies. Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) is one of the most popular tools in this field, which is an influential computational tool that is used to simulate the behaviors of fire and smoke movement. Engineers no longer need to apply physical fire tests that might be costly and time consuming to simulate fire scenarios; they can do it through computer models. This enables the researchers, architects and safety engineers to be in a position to make informed knowledge about the development, outbreak and effects of fire on buildings and occupants. This paper will discuss the meaning of Fire Dynamics Simulator, how it was developed, the important features, its application in the real world and future of fire simulation technology. Introduction to Fire Dynamics Simulator Fire Dynamics Simu...

The world cities are growing at a fast rate. The skyscape is becoming a taller and grander place with higher structures, bigger projects and grander infrastructure projects. However, as construction is picking up, the question that needs to be asked is: Are we constructing today or creating buildings that will serve the upcoming 3 decades? Sustainability has become not only a design and construction trend in modern day world. It is emerging as the new norm of responsible development. Constructions are no longer judged by the impressiveness and size of the buildings. More and more they are being evaluated in terms of the efficiency with which they can work in the long term.
