Title: FIELD MODELLING OF SURFACE FLAME SPREAD OVER CHARRING MATERIALS

Howeve...SUMMARY The application of field models to the simulation of smoke movement in fire scenarios is becoming increasingly commonplace as the underlying database of validation and experience grows. However the application of field models to flame spread, and their consequent use in fire scenarios, is in its infancy. In this paper a hierarchy of flame spread models are presented as implemented in the field modelling code, SOFIE. Increasing sophistication of the models reduces the reliance upon empirical data, whilst conversely, the greater the reliance upon empirical data, the more applicable the model to real world materials.Read More
