Journal ArticleDOI

Experimental study of corner fires—Part I: Inert panel tests

TL;DR: In this paper, the fire growth in a corner configuration of Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) panels is investigated to provide a set of experimental data, performing Single Burning Item (SBI) tests.
Journal ArticleDOI

On the Use of Real-Time Video to Forecast Fire Growth in Enclosures

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors combine video data analysis and numerical simulations for numerical fire forecasting in the case of a burning sofa in an ISO room, where the fire is monitored by means of a video camera and the fire heat release rate, estimated from the flame height and width, serves as input for the numerical simulations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Full-scale and reduced-scale tests on smoke movement in case of car park fire

TL;DR: In this article, full-scale and reduced-scale measurements along with numerical simulations have been carried out in order to increase fire safety in car parks, with particular focus on the smoke back-layering (SBL).
Journal ArticleDOI

Airflow measurements in and around scale-model cattle barns in a wind tunnel: Effect of wind incidence angle

TL;DR: In this article, air velocity measurements were carried out in two 1:60 scale models of a dairy cattle house placed in a wind tunnel, using a reference air velocity of 3.5m−s−1.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Quasi-Realizable Cubic Low-Reynolds Eddy-Viscosity Turbulence Model with a New Dissipation Rate Equation

TL;DR: In this paper, a non-linear relationship of the Reynolds stresses in function of the strain rate and vorticity tensors, with terms up to third order, is developed.
