Numerical experiments and compartment fires
Fires are complex and it is hard to derive relationships from theory in fire science. Full-scale and small-scale experiments have been used with great success in order to increase the understanding of fire chemistry and fire dynamics. An alternative or complement to these often expensive and resource demanding traditional experiments are numerical experiments. In this paper, numerical experimen...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Low-pressure Explosive Combustion in Compartment Fires
Title of dissertation: NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF LOW-PRESSURE EXPLOSIVE COMBUSTION IN COMPARTMENT FIRES Hu Zhixin Doctor of Philosophy, 2008 Dissertation directed by: Professor Arnaud Trouvé Department of Mechanical Engineering A filtered progress variable approach is adopted for large eddy simulations (LES) of turbulent deflagrations. The deflagration model is coupled with a nonpremixed combusti...
متن کاملKallada Janardhan, Rahul; Hostikka, Simo Experiments and Numerical Simulations of Pressure Effects in Apartment Fires
The fire induced pressure and its influence on ventilation flows within a compartment have not been studied in detail previously. In this research work, we have investigated the development of gas pressure and the resulting flows in compartment fires first experimentally, by burning a series of heptane pool and polyurethane mattress fires inside a real, 58.6 m by 2.57 m high, apartment and then...
متن کاملFires in Tunnels: Experiments and Modelling
The development of fire safety research in road tunnels during the past 20 years is reviewed, with particular reference to the activity of the Flame Research Group at Politecnico di Torino (Italy). Simulations of fire accidents in tunnels are described for both full-scale tests in real tunnels and for laboratory-scale tests. It is shown how simple semiempirical thermo-fluid dynamic models are a...
متن کاملNumerical Investigations of Rack Storage Fires
A number of numer~cal simulations of rack storage fires have been carr~ed out, with various fuel types and burner outputs. Both the standard buoyancy-modified k E turbulence model and a recently developed turbulence model which significantly improves the consideration of the buoyancy effect on turbulence and turbulent transport, were used to study the turbulence of the buoyant flow. The flamele...
