2. Analytical tools
Most analytical models are hydraulic models, for which the flow of people can be assimilated to the flow of a liquid. The main models are listed below.
2.1 Basic equations
The flow of people through an opening can be calculated from the formula in equation (2) . Equation (3) presents the specific flow F s , expressed in persons per meter of opening per second :
