Assessement of FDS 6 Simulation Results for a Large-Scale Ethanol Pool Fire

TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical study on the prediction of the burning rate and heat release rate of a large-scale ethanol pool fire (0.81 m × 0.70 m) using the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS 6) is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessment of a methodology to include differential diffusion in numerical simulations of a turbulent flame

TL;DR: In this paper, a new methodology to incorporate differential diffusion effects in CFD simulations of turbulent reactive flows is applied to the "H3" benchmark flame of the Turbulent Non-premixed Flames (TNF) workshop series.
Journal ArticleDOI

Response surface modelling in quantitative risk analysis for life safety in case of fire

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a framework for the development of a risk assessment methodology to quantify the life safety risk of building occupants in the context of fire safety design, where a response surface model (RSM) for sub-models, which support the global QRA method, is useful.
Journal ArticleDOI

Large Eddy Simulations of the Ceiling Jet Induced by the Impingement of a Turbulent Air Plume

TL;DR: In this article, a sensitivity study is performed with FireFOAM 2.2.x for a hot air jet plume impinging onto a flat horizontal ceiling, and the influence of the level of turbulence imposed at the inlet, in terms of intensity and eddy length scale, is discussed.
Journal Article

Numerical Simulations of a Mechanically-Ventilated Multi- Compartment Fire

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate the capabilities of a widely used Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) code in the fire community, namely the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS 5.5.3), in the simulation of a large-scale, well-confined and mechanically ventilated multi-room fire scenario.
