Practically all fires go through an important, initial stage in which a coherent, buoyant gas
stream rises above a localized volume undergoing combustion into surrounding space of …

Recent advances in diagnostic methods are providing new capacity for detailed
measurement of turbulent, reacting flows that are strongly radiating. Radiation becomes …

This Guide describes how to use the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) version 5. Because
new features are added periodically, check the current version number on the inside front …

Modern buildings and structures are commonly equipped with fire safety detection and
protection systems. Owing to the complexity in building architectures, performance-based …

FireFOAM, a new fire modeling code based on the OpenFOAM platform (www. openfoam.
org), is developed and applied to model a series of purely buoyant fire plumes with heat …

Abstract This article reports Large Eddy Simulation (LES) of 30 cm diameter methanol pool
fires in order to investigate the effects of the burner boundary conditions on the pool …

Turbulent pool fires have been studied as a canonical configuration in fire science with wide
interest. A numerical study of a small-scale turbulent heptane pool fire is conducted in the …

Full-scale experiment and numerical simulations are carried out on a shelf fire in a
storehouse to study the ignition manner, the fire spread and the combustion characteristics …

A numerical study simulating the temporal vortical structures of a large-scale buoyant pool
fire has been carried out using a fully-coupled Large Eddy Simulation (LES) model which …

Anti-phase and in-phase flickering modes of dual buoyant diffusion flames were numerically
investigated and theoretically analyzed in this study. Inspired by the flickering mechanism of …
