Fluid Mechanics Aspects of Fire and Smoke Dynamics in Enclosures
Author: Bart Merci
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1000755991
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 424
Book Description
This book provides essential understanding of flows in fire and smoke dynamics in enclosures, covering combustion, heat transfer and fire suppression in more detail than other introductory books. It moves from the basic equations for turbulent flows with combustion, through a discussion of the structure of flames, to fire and smoke plumes and their interaction with enclosure boundaries. This is then applied to fire dynamics and smoke and heat control in enclosures. This new edition provides considerably more on the fluid mechanics of the effect of water, and on fire dynamics modelling using Computational Fluid Dynamics. Presents worked examples taken from practical, everyday fire-related problems Covers a broad range of topics, from the basics to state-of-the-art computer simulations of fire and smoke-related fluid mechanics, including the effect of water Provides extensive treatment of the interaction of water sprays with a fire-driven flow Contains a chapter on Computational Fluid Dynamics, the increasingly popular calculation method in the field of fire safety science The book serves as a comprehensive guide at the undergraduate and starting researcher level on fire and smoke dynamics in enclosures, with an emphasis on fluid mechanics.

Wildland Fire Behaviour
Author: Mark A. Finney
Publisher: CSIRO PUBLISHING
ISBN: 1486309100
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 675
Book Description
Wildland fires have an irreplaceable role in sustaining many of our forests, shrublands and grasslands. They can be used as controlled burns or occur as free-burning wildfires, and can sometimes be dangerous and destructive to fauna, human communities and natural resources. Through scientific understanding of their behaviour, we can develop the tools to reliably use and manage fires across landscapes in ways that are compatible with the constraints of modern society while benefiting the ecosystems. The science of wildland fire is incomplete, however. Even the simplest fire behaviours – how fast they spread, how long they burn and how large they get – arise from a dynamical system of physical processes interacting in unexplored ways with heterogeneous biological, ecological and meteorological factors across many scales of time and space. The physics of heat transfer, combustion and ignition, for example, operate in all fires at millimetre and millisecond scales but wildfires can become conflagrations that burn for months and exceed millions of hectares. Wildland Fire Behaviour: Dynamics, Principles and Processes examines what is known and unknown about wildfire behaviours. The authors introduce fire as a dynamical system along with traditional steady-state concepts. They then break down the system into its primary physical components, describe how they depend upon environmental factors, and explore system dynamics by constructing and exercising a nonlinear model. The limits of modelling and knowledge are discussed throughout but emphasised by review of large fire behaviours. Advancing knowledge of fire behaviours will require a multidisciplinary approach and rely on quality measurements from experimental research, as covered in the final chapters.
