Simulating Fires in Natural and Forced Ventilated Enclosures (Beraekningsmodell foer Beskrivning av Brand i Rum)

B. Haegglund

An interactive computer program for simulating a growing fire in a single enclosure is described. The single space is divided into distinct homogeneous zones. The rate of heat release is defined for the fire and the conservation equations are solved for the zones. The model predicts the growth of ceiling layer, heat and smoke conditions as a function of fire size, room geometry and ventilation conditions. The ventilation can be forced (mechanical ventilation) or non-forced (natural ventilation) and the openings to the outside can be vertically (in walls) or horizontally (in roof) oriented.
