Abstract

Full-scale fire modelling using Computational Fluid Dynamics is used extensively to investigate the fire consequences and the performance of building materials and fire protection systems in domestic and industrial environments. The chapter summarizes the current modelling approaches for the key physical phenomena like turbulent flow, combustion, thermal radiation, and condensed phase heating and degradation. The emphasis is put on the model features that are needed for capturing the coupled nature of the fire growth simulations. Reported simulations of vertical flame spread, burning electrical cables, and fire retardant polymers are briefly reviewed. © 2024 selection and editorial matter, Alexander B. Morgan and Charles A.
