Fire scene reconstruction of a furnished compartment room in a house fire
A.C.Y. Yuen - University of New South Wales
(in lingua inglese)
Fire behaviours of a furnished compartment room-burn carried out in Parkes were compared against numerical simulations and subsequent visualisations through FDS. Comparison of gas temperature demonstrated that FDS was shown to provide reasonable temperature and flow predictions if the pyrolysis and combustion rate of the fuel could be appropriately modelled. The phenomena of the spread of fire and smoke were successfully captured, including the spread of fire on the couch surface and burning of carpet induced by the radiation of hot gas layer. FDS simulations demonstrated a quicker and larger fire growth when compared to the observed fire scenarios and hence predicted earlier occurrence of flashover.
