CODE 104817 ACADEMIC YEAR 2024/2025 CREDITS 1 cfu anno 2 INGEGNERIA MECCANICA - ENERGIA E AERONAUTICA 9270 (LM-33) - GENOVA SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINARY SECTOR ING-IND/10 LANGUAGE English TEACHING LOCATION GENOVA SEMESTER 2° Semester MODULES Questo insegnamento è un modulo di: FIRE SAFETY DESIGN AND SIMULATIONS TEACHING MATERIALS AULAWEB OVERVIEW This course, 9 hours 1CFU, is the integration of the FIRE SAFETY DESIGN course. In this course we deepen some aspects for the simulation of active components, such as smoke detectors, Heat and smoke forced extraction systems, etc., in a fire scenario. AIMS AND CONTENT LEARNING OUTCOMES Aim of this course is to get the student to explore some specific details of the Fire Dynamic Simulator software and to stimulate his ability to represent, describe and critically analyze the simulation results, in view of the design process. The educational objectives of this course are closely related to those expressed in Fire Safety Design, because this course is an extension of it. AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES The student will develop the capability of simulating detection/extinction devices, to be used in software for Fire Dynamic Simulation such as FDS or CFAST Safety Engineering TEACHING METHODS 100% of the course (9 hours) will consist in tutorial activities devoted to improve students skills in Fire Dynamic Simulations Students who have valid certification of physical or learning disabilities on file with the University and who wish to discuss possible accommodations or other circumstances regarding lectures, coursework and exams, should speak both with the instructor and with Professor Federico Scarpa (federico.scarpa@unige.it), the Polytechnic School's disability liaison.
