COMIC: Using tools from fields like fluid dynamics to better understand how groups of people move around can improve flow and make large gatherings safer

NZZ Format - Mass panic - How streams of people can be controlled

Every year there are hundreds of fatalities at sporting events, religious occasions and festivals. Is “mass panic” responsible for this or do people die for other reasons?

Different scales needed to model fires with Lukas Arnold

If someone ever tells you they have modelled fire spread for a commercial project, with 20 cm grids and using generic materials from (old) FDS database, please do me a favour and redirect them to this episode.
