Transport Phenomena in Fires

Controlled fires are beneficial for the generation of heat and power while uncontrolled fires, like fire incidents and wildfires, are detrimental and can cause enormous material damage and human suffering. This edited book presents the state-of-the-art of modelling and numerical simulation of the important transport phenomena in fires. It describes how computational procedures can be used in the analysis and design of fire protection and fire safety. Computational fluid dynamics, turbulence modelling, combustion, soot formation, thermal radiation modelling are demonstrated and applied to pool fires, flame spread, wildfires, fires in buildings and other examples.
