Description

Controlled fires are beneficial for the generation of heat and power whileuncontrolled fires, like fire incidents and wildfires, are detrimental andcan cause enormous material damage and human suffering. This edited bookpresents the state of the art of modeling and numerical simulation of the important transport phenomena in fires. It describes how computationalprocedures can be used in analysis and design of fire protection and firesafety. Computational fluid dynamics, turbulence modeling, combustion, sootformation, thermal radiation modeling are demonstrated and applied to pool fires, flame spread, wildfires, fires in buildings and other examples.
