CFD Fire and Smoke

Precision Fire Simulations for Safer, Smarter Designs

At Vortex Fire, we specialise in advanced CFD analysis services in Australia, helping developers, fire engineers, and architects make informed decisions using real-world fire and smoke simulation data. Through detailed CFD fire modelling Australia projects rely on, we provide evidence-based insights into smoke movement, visibility, temperature, and tenability across all building types.
Our services support prescriptive and performance-based designs and are widely used to justify alternative solutions under the National Construction Code (NCC).

What is CFD Fire and Smoke Modelling?

CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) fire modelling simulates the movement of heat, smoke, and gases during a fire event. These simulations are essential for understanding how smoke affects evacuation, visibility, air quality and firefighting conditions.
Our fire and smoke CFD consulting services are particularly valuable for:
  • Complex buildings with large open volumes (e.g., atria, malls)
  • Tunnel ventilation and underground infrastructure
  • Smoke control system design
  • Validation of mechanical exhaust systems
  • Assessing tenability and Available Safe Egress Time (ASET)
Whether you’re designing a vertical mixed-use tower or a transport terminal, our CFD fire department Australia experts deliver high-resolution models that inform life safety, system performance, and compliance. We provide fire and smoke CFD consulting that supports smarter, safer, and more flexible building designs.

Our CFD Analysis Services in Australia Include:

  • Fire and smoke simulations using industry leading tools like FDS (Fire Dynamics Simulator)
  • Smoke layer interface and temperature mapping
  • Visibility and gas concentration predictions in egress paths
  • Assessment of sprinkler, detection, and ventilation system performance
  • Zone modelling and tenability analysis for ASET/RSET comparison
  • Fire scenario planning and result validation
  • Reporting for submission to certifiers and AHJs
Our CFD analysis services in Australia align with NCC Volume One, International Fire Engineering Guidelines (IFEG), and relevant Australian Standards such as AS 1668 and AS 4072.

Trusted by Fire Authorities & Certifiers

We work closely with design teams, mechanical engineers and approval bodies to ensure that all CFD fire and smoke modelling outputs meet the expectations of Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs) including:
  • Fire & Rescue NSW
  • Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES)
  • Country Fire Authority (CFA)
  • Private Certifiers and Building Surveyors
Our CFD fire department Australia team ensures results are clearly documented, technically robust, and defensible for approval.
