Review of Convective Heat Transfer Modelling in CFD Simulations of Fire-Driven Flows
Applied Sciences, 2021 Progress in fire safety science strongly relies on the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to simulate a wide range of scenarios, involving complex geometries, multiple length/time scales and multi-physics (e.g., turbulence, combustion, heat ...

Modelling fire occurrence at regional scale. Does vegetation phenology matter? [PDF]
, 2015 Through its influence on biomass production, climate controls fuel availability affecting at the same time fuel moisture and flammability, which are the main determinants for fire ignition and propagation.

Real Fire And Fire Modeling. [PDF]
Fire Safety Science, 1989 The system fire research in Japan was started after World War II. One of the main objectives was the diagnosis of the strength remaining in buildings burnt out during the as against a future earthquake. The fire behavior in compartments and the structural behavior of building in the fully developed stage were studied by carrying out full scale fire ...

Linking fire behaviour and its ecological effects to plant traits, using FRaME in R
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Floral fire ecology incorporates a feedback loop in which plants influence fire behaviour and fire behaviour influences the flora. Recent advances in fire behaviour modelling have quantified many plant‐based drivers of fire behaviour, but the consequent ...

Fire safety assessment of open wide gangway underground trains in tunnels using coupled fire and evacuation simulation [PDF]
, 2017 A new type of train configuration, known as Open Wide Gangway (OWG) is becoming popular, particularly in underground environments. Previous fire modelling analysis demonstrated that the OWG configuration was considered safe as or safer than conventional

Impulsive modelling for tree-grass interactions in fire-prone savanna [PDF]
, 2015 The study of tree-grass interactions in savanna (fires prone or not) remains an important issue for research. In African savanna, it is well known that fire is a major disturbance that shapes tree-grass ratio along a rainfall gradient.

Evaluation of unprotected steel beam temperature during fire using CFD simulation [PDF]
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2021 Fire resistance of building construction is essential part of the design process. Thermal loading of loadbearing elements can be obtained by using simplified standard fire curve or advanced numerical fire model.
