Learn to use the knowledge of fire engineering to predict the development of fire in enclosed spaces and calculate the amount of heat and smoke released during combustion based on mathematical modeling of the process of heat generation and flame spread. Acquire ways of interpreting the results obtained by mathematical modeling. Practically apply software tools for modeling the fire situation (zone models or field type models) in solving fire safety of buildings.
