The goal of these simulation studies was to demonstrate the capability of the GASFLOW computer code to predict detailed concentration distributions of toxic gases released in a subway station and in an airplane hangar, which represents an open building like a gymnasium. GASFLOW is a finite-volume computer code for solving transient, three-dimensional, compressible, Navier-Stokes equations for multiple gas species. It calculates the transport, mixing, and combustion of flammable gases and aerosols in geometrically complex domains.
