Defining parameters for numerical modelling of fires

Abstract

Fires caused by human activities are one of the main causes of losses in terms of both human lives and material and economic capital. To prevent these losses, it is necessary to perform the needed activities of research in the area of industrial fires, as such one of the methods of achieving this, is to perform computer aided numerical simulations of fires. By this process of computational modelling, we can determine the causes of the fires, and the mechanism by which the fire has propagated and developed. Also, numerical modelling of fires, can help in the development of procedures, and norms, which we can implement, to protect the personnel and to prevent material and economic losses.
