Journal ArticleDOI
Development and validation of a physics-based urban fire spread model
Keisuke Himoto,Takeyoshi Tanaka +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a computational model for fire spread in a densely built urban area is developed, which explicitly describes fire spread phenomena with physics-based knowledge achieved in the field of fire safety engineering.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling thermal behaviors of window flame ejected from a fire compartment
TL;DR: In this paper, a stainless pan filled with alcohol was used as the fire source and was placed inside a cubic compartment of 900mm side, where temperatures and velocities at various points inside and outside of the compartment were measured.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transport Of Disk-shaped Firebrands In A Turbulent Boundary Layer
Keisuke Himoto,Takeyoshi Tanaka +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a transport model for a disk-shaped firebrand in 3D space has been formulated for the purpose of spotting simulation, which is described by solving the conservation equations of momentum and angular-momentum simultaneously.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling the trajectory of window flames with regard to flow attachment to the adjacent wall
TL;DR: In this article, a model for predicting the trajectory of window flame ejected from a fire compartment was formulated incorporating the effect of wall above the opening, and the critical condition for the occurrence of flow attachment was described as a proportion of the maximum separation from the wall versus the opening width.
Journal ArticleDOI
Statistical Modeling of Fire Occurrence Using Data from the Tōhoku, Japan Earthquake and Tsunami
TL;DR: Using new, uniquely large, and consistent data sets from the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, three types of models-generalized linear models (GLMs), generalized additive models (GAMs), and boosted regression trees (BRTs) are fitted.
