Critical evaluation of an integral model for the pyrolysis of charring materials
TL;DR: In this paper, the integral model for the pyrolysis of charring materials of Moghtaderi et al., extended with a cooling stage is considered, and an automatic optimisation technique is described to obtain material fire properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the extrapolation of CFD results for smoke and heat control in reduced-scale set-ups to full scale: atrium configuration
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of CFD simulations of fire-induced flows in an atrium configuration is used to confirm that the scaling of results is justified as long as the flows in both the reduced-scale and full-scale configurations are sufficiently turbulent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of FDS to Under-Ventilated Enclosure Fires with External Flaming
TL;DR: In this article, numerical simulations are conducted to investigate the accuracy of the fire dynamics simulator (FDS 6.0.1) for under-ventilated enclosure fires with external flaming.
Journal ArticleDOI
Numerical study of smoke extraction for adhered spill plumes in atria: Impact of extraction rate and geometrical parameters
Nele Tilley,Bart Merci +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an extensive numerical study based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is presented in which these parameters are varied The presence of a downstand or balcony is not covered in the study at hand from the results, a correlation is presented for adhered spill plumes in atria without downstand, relating the smoke extraction rate to the smoke free height in the atrium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reasoning on multi-sensor geographic smoke spread data for fire development and risk analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the general architecture of a multi-sensor geographic information system which allows for the effective use of sensor data and geographic information in fire incident management and fire development analysis.
