Computational simulation of fire development inside a trade centre
DOI 10.12914/MSPE-05-03-2015
Abstract: Real scale fire experiments involve considerable costs compared to computational mathematical modelling. This paper-work is the result of such a virtual simulation of a fire occurred in a hypothetical wholesale warehouse comprising a large number of trade stands. The analysis starts from the ignition source located inside a trade stand towards the fire expansion over three groups of compartments, by highlighting the heat transfer, both in small spaces, as well as over large distances. In order to confirm the accuracy of the simulation, the obtained values are compared to the ones from the specialized literature.
