CFD Simulations of Pool Fires in a Confined and Ventilated Enclosure Using the Peatross–Beyler Correlation to Calculate the Mass Loss Rate

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the Peatross-Beyler (P&B) correlation to calculate the Mass Loss Rate (MLR) for a pool fire in a confined and ventilated enclosure for a range of conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Numerical modelling of the interaction between water sprays and hot air jets - Part I: Gas phase Large Eddy Simulations

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report a comprehensive set of large-eddy simulations (LES) of a turbulent hot air jet impinging onto a ceiling, where three exit velocities have been tested: 3.3, 4.2 and 5.3.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of computational aspects on simulations of a turbulent jet diffusion flame

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of computational aspects on simulation results is quantitatively investigated for the specific case of a turbulent piloted jet diffusion flame (Sandia Flame D), and it is illustrated that the results can heavily depend on the numerical aspects.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Use of Positive Pressure Ventilation Fans During Firefighting Operations in Underground Stations: An Experimental Study

TL;DR: In this article, 106 full-scale tests with up to four fans have been performed in a training building that represents a subway station and the generated flow through the subway station has been measured.

Coverage analysis of moving object silhouettes in thermal and visual registered images

TL;DR: A multi-sensor smoke detector which takes advantage of the different kinds of information represented by visual and thermal imaging sensors to improve video-based smoke detection and reduce false alarms is proposed.
