Mathematical modeling of fire development is widely used for solving different problems of fire safety. This modeling, as a rule, considers only the development of fire inside the building. However, the fire spread along the external façade structures can also create hazard even when the external walls and façade structures are made from non-combustible materials. In particular the spread of fire along the façades can lead to smoke filling of open passages (balconies) of staircases, appearance of smoke in the points of air intakes of smoke ventilation systems, covering of helicopter area at the roof with smoke, and fire spread on the upper floors through open and glazing filled openings. This work presents the results of CFD modeling of fire spread along the non-combustible façades of different geometrical configurations with glazing structures.
