Modeling of fire exposure in facade fire testing

Fire and Materials, 2017
SummaryIn this paper, a comparative simulation study on 3 large‐scale facade testing methods, namely, the SP Fire 105, BS 8414‐1, and the ISO 13785‐2 methods, is presented. Generally good correspondence between simulations and experimental data has been found, provided that thermal properties of the facade material and heat release rates are known ...

Fifty years of progress in wildland fire modelling: from empirical to fully physical CFD models

Comptes Rendus. Mécanique, 2022
The aim of this short review is to present the progress made in wildland fire modelling during the last 50 years and the intellectual track followed by wildland fires models, from fully empirical models in the 60s, to semi-empirical ones in the 70s, to ...

HTAP3 Fires: towards a multi-model, multi-pollutant study of fire impacts [PDF]

Geoscientific Model Development
Open biomass burning has major impacts globally and regionally on atmospheric composition. Fire emissions include particulate matter, tropospheric ozone precursors, and greenhouse gases, as well as persistent organic pollutants, mercury, and other metals.

Reducing The Computational Requirements for Simulating Tunnel Fires by Combining Multiscale Modelling and Multiple Processor Calculation [PDF]

, 2016
Multiscale modelling of tunnel fires that uses a coupled 3D (fire area) and 1D (the rest of the tunnel) model is seen as the solution to the numerical problem of the large domains associated with long tunnels.
