Transport Phenomena in Fires (Developments in Heat Transfer)

Controlled fires are beneficial for the generation of heat and power while
uncontrolled fires, like fire incidents and wildfires, are detrimental and
can cause enormous material damage and human suffering. This edited book
presents the state of the art of modeling and numerical simulation of the important transport phenomena in fires. It describes how computational
procedures can be used in analysis and design of fire protection and fire
safety. Computational fluid dynamics, turbulence modeling, combustion, soot
formation, thermal radiation modeling are demonstrated and applied to pool fires, flame spread, wildfires, fires in buildings and other examples.
