This study explores the application of computational fluid dyn amics (CFD) in enhancing fire safety modelling for battery thermal managem ent systems (BTMS). As fire scenarios become more complex due to evolving combustible fuel loads\, the need for advanced modelling techniques is par amount. This research introduces a systematic framework that integrates CF D with a user-defined pyrolysis sub-model to simulate compartment fire sce narios accurately. A comprehensive material library\, encompassing common furniture materials and flame retardants\, is utilised to assess fire risk s under varying conditions. The findings demonstrate how CFD can effective ly predict fire behaviour\, enabling the optimisation of design parameters to mitigate thermal runaway and fire hazards in BTMS. By coupling CFD wit h artificial neural networks (ANN)\, this approach seeks to identify optim al configurations that enhance safety while maintaining system performance . The integration of these methodologies represents a significant advancem ent in fire safety modelling\, providing critical insights for the develop ment of safer environments and more robust fire risk assessments. (more i nfo available on Dr Yuen’s PolyU website https://research.polyu.edu.hk/e n/persons/anthony-chun-yin-yuen\; and personal website: http://acyyuen.com /) \n Speakers \n Dr Anthony Chun Yin Yuen Assistant Professor\, Pre sidential Young Scholar Department of Building Energy and Environment Eng ineering The Hong Kong Polytechnic UniversityDr Anthony Chun Yin Yuen acq uired his PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the University of New South W ales (UNSW) Sydney in 2015. He is a newly appointed Associate Professor (P residential Young Scholar) at the Department of Building Environment and E nergy Engineering at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (HKPolyU) in 202 3. Dr Yuen's research focuses on the development of advanced fire retardan t materials with the aid of atomistic modelling techniques to characterise the in-depth flame retardant mechanisms such as charring\, radical scaven ging and vapourisation. Additionally\, he focuses on the development of fi re models to describe the flaming and degradation processes\, charring and self-extinction behaviours of advanced materials\, aiming to improve the fire resilience of building and construction and energy storage systems. D r Yuen is recognised as Top 2% Scientist Worldwide in consecutive years 20 23 &\; 2024 by Stanford University and Elsevier Data Repository and pub lished 5 highly cited papers. Dr Yuen has >\;150 SCI journals and 3 book chapters\, with an H-index of 46 &\; >\;7\,300 citations (Google Sch olar).
