Carbon monoxide (CO) is the leading cause of poisoning deaths in many countries,
including Japan. Annually, CO poisoning claims about 2000–5000 lives in Japan, which is …

Wood is one of the most sustainable, aesthetically pleasing and environmentally benign
materials. Not only is wood often an integral part of structures, it is also the main source of …

The idea that the dynamics of a fire might be studied numerically dates back to the
beginning of the computer age. Indeed, the fundamental conservation equations governing …

The heat release rate (HRR) is the most critical parameter in characterizing the fire behavior
and thermal effects of a burning item. However, traditional fire calorimetry methods are not …

The paper presents an early fire-alarm raising method based on video processing. The
basic idea of the proposed of fire-detection is to adopt a RGB (red, green, blue) model based …

This paper intends to provide a comprehensive state-of-art review of recent progresses and
to formulate perspectives on window-ejected fire plumes, originating from under-ventilated …

The idea that the dynamics of a fire might be studied numerically dates back to the
beginning of the computer age. Indeed, the fundamental conservation equations governing …

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 …

Physics-based coupled fire–atmosphere models are based on approximations to the
governing equations of fluid dynamics, combustion, and the thermal degradation of solid …
