Smoke Management
at Frankfurt
Airport
by Ingo Cremer, Joachim Luy, Jens Elmers, and Albrecht Gill, Fluent Germany
n Germany, the occurrence of one severe fire accident at an airport has led officials to review the existing fire protection strategies for airport buildings as
well as those for renovated terminals. Thus when the
renovation of Terminal 1 at Frankfurt Airport was planned,
fire protection scenarios had to be checked and possibly optimized. In order to compare the performances
of different concepts, FLUENT simulations of the original geometry of the terminal were ordered by the airport authorities. For validation purposes, experiments
using a 1:20 model were performed.
The effort began with simulations of the external air
flow around the buildings that make up the terminal. The
results were used to predict static pressures along the outer
surfaces of the buildings and at several potential building openings. A second set of simulations focused on fire
management inside the departure hall of Terminal 1. Of
particular interest was the time-dependent dispersion
