Contrast Between Natural and Experimentally Controlled Fires in Forced Ventilated Enclosures
Controlled fire experiments in forced ventilated enclosures were done to provide accurate data with which to compare results from enclosure fire models. Methods for fire control include: limiting fuel geometry; defining fire duration; metering fuel flow rate and controlling ventilation rate. Concern that highly controlled fires may provide unrealistic conditions in enclosures prompted us to conduct several naturally burning fires as a test of comparative fire output performance criteria. Results of this comparison show that the deterministic control parameter for either natural or controlled fires is the ventilation rate: i.e., for fully ventilated conditions both natural and controlled fires produced very similar conditions.
