Spatial Engineering Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that uses experiments and computation to understand fire evacuation in enclosed spaces.
AboutAbout the lab
Capturing the movement of people and smoke as one.
The Spatial Engineering Lab studies how human behavior and the physical environment influence each other in enclosed spaces such as tunnels and building interiors.
Focusing on evacuation behavior during fires, the lab examines human behavior, psychological state, and physiological responses together with physical phenomena such as smoke and heat.
The lab combines full-scale evacuation experiments and fire experiments that account for similarity laws with measurements from various sensors and CFD simulation, aiming to reproduce real-world phenomena as faithfully as possible.
Research centers on experiments, and requires physical stamina as well as analysis using mathematics and physics.
Key terms
- Similarity laws
- Relationships of dimensions and conditions used to relate results from experiments on scaled-down models to phenomena at actual size.
- CFD
- Computational fluid dynamics, which studies the flow of air, smoke, and other fluids through computer calculation. It is used here to reproduce the movement of smoke and hot gas flows.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies the movement of people and the flow of smoke and heat in enclosed spaces as a whole, aiming to provide a foundation for safer spatial design. Targeting tunnels and building interiors, it combines quantification of evacuation behavior, calculation of smoke flow, and indoor measurement technology.
