Synopsis

This book provides a new approach to analyzing the thermal response of barriers and partitions in compartment fires. Fire models for simulating compartment fire environments rely on analyzing the thermal response of compartment barriers and partitions, using mathematical formulations that couple the thermal response of gases that fill the compartment and the thermal response of compartment barriers and partitions. The fire environment characteristics calculated by such models can be used to provide input to an uncoupled thermal-structural computer model for simulating and evaluating the combined thermal/structural performance of the barriers/partitions. However, a multi-dimensional analysis of barriers and partitions during modeling is computationally intensive and impractical. The author presents a solution that involves using a one-dimensional analysis of the thermal response of barriers and partitions, paving the way for accurate and efficient fire modeling.
