Large Outdoor Fire Dynamics

Large Outdoor Fire Dynamics

Large Outdoor Fire Dynamics provides the essential knowledge for the hazard evaluation of large outdoor fires including wildland WUI (wildland-urban interface) and urban fires. The spread of outdoor fires can be viewed as a successive occurrence of physical and chemical processes – solid fuel combustion heat transfer to surrounding combustibles and ignition of heated combustibles – which are explained herein. Engineering equations frequently used in practical hazard analyses are derived and then integrated to implement a computational code predicting fire spread among discretely distributed combustibles. This code facilitates learning the procedure of hazard evaluation for large outdoor fires. Chapters cover underlying assumptions for analyzing fire spread behavior in large outdoor fires namely wind conditions near the ground surface and fundamentals of heat transfer; the physical mechanism of fire spread in and between combustibles specifically focusing on fire plumes (both reacting and non-reacting) and firebrand dispersal; and the spatial modeling of 3D objects and developing the computational framework for predicting fire spread. The book is ideal for engineers researchers and graduate students in fire safety as well as mechanical engineering civil engineering disaster management safety engineering and planning. Companion source codes are available online.
