This paper presents the analysis of the effect of smoke exhaust and hot gases from an atrium type building using techniques for numerical simulation of a fire situation. Several scenarios regarding smoke exhaust are considered for that purpose and the variation of the following parameters is monitored: minimum and maximum temperature of hot gases as well as the smoke layer height inside the atrium. Using engineering techniques, the development of fire, in compliance with the European legislation has been modelled, by means of a specialized computer program in order to simulate the phenomena of both the fluid flow and the heat transfer manifested in a fire situation.

The excellent thermal hydraulic performances of coolers are the foundations of vehicular safety and stability. Structure, material, fin type and arrangement all have important effects on the thermal hydraulic performances. Numerical simulation method was adopted in this paper to investigate the effect of fin arrangement. The fluid flow and heat transfer performances were contrasted and analyzed under two different fin arrangements. It was found that fin arrangement effected thermal hydraulic performances severely and during the design process of a cooler, the performance requirements could be met through adjusting fin arrangements.
