- This paper describes a unique process of coupling CFD fire and evacuation modelling to undertake a forensic analysis of a fatal fire in South Korea and is the result of an international collaboration between FSEG and South Korea (Jun-Ho). It is a building application of the techniques developed as part of the EU FP7 project AIRCRAFTFIRE (265612) (http://bit.ly/fseg_aircraftfire). It explains, for the first time, why so many occupants perished in this fatal fire and uniquely identifies a process to improve fire safety in indoor shooting ranges. The technique forms the basis of Galea expert witness analysis for the Grenfell Inquiry.
