Providing CFD & Performance-based Fire Engineering Consultancy Services

CFD Modelling Services

At Lava Consultants, we provide advanced CFD Modelling in the UAE to help design teams solve complex challenges in airflow, ventilation, and thermal comfort across the built environment. Using industry-leading software we deliver accurate simulations that support both compliance with authority requirements and performance-driven design optimisation.

Our Computational Fluid Dynamics services allow architects, engineers, and developers to evaluate how air, smoke, and heat move through indoor and outdoor spaces. This includes critical applications such as chiller yard recirculation studies, car park ventilation analysis, HVAC duct flow and air distribution, cooling tower optimisation, and indoor thermal comfort assessments.

With experience across malls, metro stations, towers, and industrial facilities, Lava Consultants is a trusted partner for CFD Modelling projects, delivering clear, evidence-based solutions that enhance safety, comfort, and efficiency.

At Lava Consultants, we provide specialist egress modelling in the UAE to ensure safe, efficient, and code-compliant evacuation strategies for all types of buildings. As trusted fire evacuation simulation experts, we use advanced tools such as Pathfinder crowd modelling to replicate occupant movement during emergency conditions and verify that escape routes are designed for maximum safety and efficiency.

Our evacuation simulations allow design teams to predict evacuation times, identify congestion points, and optimise exit capacities. This is particularly vital for tunnels, metro stations, underground facilities, shopping malls, high-rise towers, and large assembly buildings, where prescriptive codes may not fully reflect real-world conditions.

Through performance-based fire engineering, we integrate egress modelling with fire and smoke CFD analysis to deliver a holistic safety assessment. This approach provides design flexibility, reduces costly rework, and supports faster approvals from civil defence authorities in the UAE and beyond.

At Lava Consultants, we specialise in providing advanced fire modelling in the UAE, helping design teams, architects, and developers demonstrate compliance and optimise fire safety strategies. Using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) tools such as Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) and PyroSim, we simulate fire growth, smoke spread, heat transfer, and visibility levels to ensure that buildings achieve the highest standards of safety.

Our fire and smoke CFD analysis is essential for complex projects where prescriptive codes may not fully capture real-world challenges. By modelling realistic fire scenarios, we evaluate whether smoke management, pressurisation, and extraction systems perform effectively, ensuring safe evacuation and firefighter access.

Our performance-based fire engineering approach supports innovative architectural designs, reduces redesign costs, and facilitates faster approvals from civil defence authorities. With experience across malls, metro stations, towers, and cultural venues, Lava Consultants is a trusted partner for Fire Modelling projects in the UAE and beyond.
