Fire and combustion presents a significant engineering challenge to mechanical, civil and dedicated fire engineers, as well as specialists in the process and chemical, safety, buildings and structural fields. We are reminded of the tragic outcomes of ‘untenable’ fire disasters such as at King’s Cross underground station or Switzerland’s St Gotthard tunnel. In these and many other cases, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is at the forefront of active research into unravelling the probable causes of fires and helping

The properties and effects of flows are important in many areas of science and engineering - their prediction can be achieved through analytical, experimental and computational fluid mechanics. In this essential, Karim Ghaib introduces computational fluid dynamics. After an overview of mathematical principles, the author formulates the conservation equations of fluid mechanics and explains turbulence models. He describes the most important numerical methods and then gives types and evaluation criteria of computational meshes. This essential book is thus recommended to

This Digest explains the methodologies being used for the computer simulation of fire. It focuses on models of the fire itself: the essentially gas phase phenomenon at the heart of any fire simulation. Numerical modelling has become increasingly attractive for those wishing to fully exploit the freedoms to achieve safe, cost effective design offered by performance based regulation. This new edition of Digest 367 supersedes the version published in 1991. It explains fire growth and spread, and the two basic types of

• Release : 07 June 2023

This book aims at fulfilling the need for a handbook at undergraduate and starting researcher level on fire and smoke dynamics in enclosures, giving fluid mechanics aspects a central role. Fluid mechanics are essential at the level of combustion, heat transfer and fire suppression, but they are described only cursorily in most of the existing fire safety science literature, including handbooks. The scope of this handbook ranges from the discussion of the basic equations for turbulent flows with combustion, through

An efficient field model based on CFD techniques is being developed to predict the smoke spread and fire growth. In this paper, as a test case, the field model has been used to investigate the effects of a f re located at the centre and corner of the standard ISO 9705 room size. The computational fluid dynamics techniques adopted as the methodology incorporated various models to consider the effects of the turbulent flow, radiation and combustion in the enclosure to predict

This book aims to cast light on all aspects of tunnel fires, based on experimental activities and theoretical and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analyses. In particular, the authors describe a transient full-scale fire test (~15 MW), explaining how they designed and performed the experimental activity inside the Morgex North tunnel in Italy. The entire organization of the experiment is described, from preliminary evaluations to the solutions found for management of operational difficulties and safety issues. This fire test allowed the collection
