About this Item

Neuware - Computer simulation or modeling is a valuable and proven tool for analysis and prediction of compartment fires. It provides answers to key questions related to prevention, investigation, and reconstruction of compartment fires involving many different conditions. This book and software package gives fire safety professionals a detailed introduction to computer-aided mathematical modeling and the software for analysis and prediction of a variety of compartment fire scenarios. It is the first book devoted exclusively to deterministic computer modeling of compartment fires and the to apply current ASTM guidelines to document and evaluate deterministic fire models. The text includes detailed information on the use of the software, as well as a review of the scientific fundamentals of fire engineering and numerical mathematics.

About this title

Synopsis

Computer simulation proves to be a valuable tool for the analysis and prediction of compartment fires. With the proper understanding and software, fire safety professionals can use modeling tools and methods to find answers to many critical questions relating to the prevention, investigation, and reconstruction of compartment fires. Thoroughly updated and revised, An Introduction to Mathematical Fire Modeling, Second Edition introduces the concepts, software, and techniques of computer-aided mathematical modeling and the software for the analysis and prediction of a variety of compartment fires. Beginning with basic compartment fire theory, the author develops a simple mathematical model that provides an engineering approximation of the time-varying conditions created by fires in an enclosure that may be subject to hot-layer vents. This is the first book focused on the deterministic computer modeling of compartment fires, and the FIRM model presented is the first fire model to be documented, validated, verified, and evaluated according to ASTM guidelines. The text includes detailed information on the use of the QBASIC software provided on an enclosed CD-ROM.
