Abstract
This article examines the modeling of smoke spread during fires in multi-story buildings using the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method and the optimization of evacuation routes. During the study, smoke movement, temperature distribution, and airflow dynamics were analyzed using a CFD model. Based on the obtained results, optimal evacuation routes were developed to ensure the safe evacuation of occupants. The research findings demonstrate that CFD modeling enables accurate prediction of smoke spread during fires and improves evacuation efficiency. The proposed approach contributes to enhancing emergency management systems and reducing human casualties.
