Design of modern industrial and commercial buildings and/or associated fire protection systems requires detailed safety analyses in order to protect workers, protect the public, and minimize risk and liability. Simplified analytical tools are not sufficient for complex, three-dimensional spaces with substantial hazards. For these environments, Alden offers sophisticated Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis, accounting for multiple gas components, smoke, dust, combustion sources, buoyancy effects, spray and forced ventilation. Applications include
Nuclear Power Plants
Fossil Fuel Power Plants
Smelting Facilities
Commercial Buildings and Atriums
Tunnels
Transportation Terminals
Factories
Fire Suppression Systems
In addition, Alden uses a world class physical gas flow modeling facility for environments not suited to computational approaches, and to validate the computational tools.
