1. Researchers at Ghent University are studying smoke movement and backlayering in car parks using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. 2. The simulations vary key parameters like car park height, width, fire source area, and heat release rate to determine the required inlet velocity for a given backlayering distance. 3. Preliminary results from the CFD simulations will help establish a formula to define the critical inlet velocity in car parks based on the allowed backlayering distance.
