The paper demonstrates how field modelling techniques can be used to understand smoke control strategies during the design phase of major buildings.
The use of animation techniques that combine smoke and people movement results, for a particular fire scenario, to produce a computer driven animated colour portrayal of an evacuation is discussed.
