Grid-independent rate of spread results from a physics-based simulation are presented.
Previously, such a numerical benchmark has been elusive owing to computational …

In this study, numerical simulations of coupled solid-phase reactions (pyrolysis) and gas-
phase reaction (combustion) were conducted. During a fire, both charring and non-charring …

The objective of this study is to investigate how the specific heat capacity (cp) value of a
material changes with respect to temperature and heating rate of that material. In-depth …

Driving wind and slope of terrain can increase the rate of surface fire propagation. Previous
physical modelling under higher driving wind (3–12.5 m/s) on slopes (Innocent et al., IJWF …

During fire, charring and non-charring polymers undergo reactions in the solid phase
(pyrolysis) and in the gas phase (combustion). These reactions can be modelled using …

A comprehensive study has been conducted on some charring materials frequently found in
buildings to characterise pyrolysis and combustion parameters concerning the variations in …

In this study, polystyrene composites (PS–GOf) with variable concentration (0.5; 1; 2; 3; 4;
and 5 wt%) of GOf were obtained through the in-situ polymerisation of the styrene in the …

Abstract Models for the thermal degradation (or pyrolysis) of solid fuel are fundamental to the
physics-based simulation of grassfires. The pyrolysis process affects the combustion …

Compartment firefighting introduces various unique hazards. Many of these hazards relate
to the smoke layer and the fuel contained within it. A method to manage the smoke layer is to …

The bachelor's thesis examines fire simulation in a ½ ISO room, investigating how moisture
in the wood affects the time to flashover. By comparing the results with experiments, the …
