Analysis of Fire and Smoke Spread in Ki Hajar Dewantara Auditorium, State University of Jakarta, Using Fire Dynamics Simulator

Fire behavior and smoke spread are influenced by various factors, including the amount condition of combustible material, ventilation openings, ceiling height. A high material in auditorium poses a significant fire hazard, hence, efforts need to be made minimize risk. One approach is use Computational Fluid Dynamic software, such as Dynamics Simulator (FDS), model combustion. In this research, it provides an overview heat release rate (HRR) fires that occur well effect differences height on spread. This research employed Polyurethane foam, commonly used for seats, sample material. Furthermore, modeled two points, one 9th floor other 10th floor, middle seat rows. The development modeling was described results visualization, HRR, burning rate, temperature rise. These provided insight into speed at which starting point had highest flame due jet phenomenon, where caused increase, producing flux could burn surrounding seats. both scenarios, rapidly toward openings. However, denser farther from less dense.
