  2. Fire Dynamics Simulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_Dynamics_Simulator

    Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) is a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of fire-driven fluid flow. The computer program solves numerically a large eddy simulation form of the Navier–Stokes equations appropriate for low-speed, thermally-driven flow, with an emphasis on smoke and heat transport from fires, to describe the evolution of fire.

  3. Forest-fire model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forest-fire_model

    Evolution of forest with p/f=100 960 frames of a forest fire simulation within 38.4 seconds (25 frames per second) In applied mathematics, a forest-fire model is any of a number of dynamical systems displaying self-organized criticality. Note, however, that according to Pruessner et al. (2002, 2004) the forest-fire model does not behave ...

Drysdale is one of the leading international authorities in Fire Safety Engineering and is the author of the standard reference text in the field, "An Introduction to ...

  5. Wildfire modeling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildfire_modeling

    Wildfire modeling attempts to reproduce fire behavior, such as how quickly the fire spreads, in which direction, how much heat it generates. A key input to behavior modeling is the Fuel Model, or type of fuel, through which the fire is burning.

  6. Osborne Fire Finder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osborne_Fire_Finder

    Ronalds's fire finder comprised a theodolite atop a watchtower. Bearings and vertical angles from the horizon to surrounding features were recorded either on a surrounding cylinder in the form of a panorama or on a circular table at the base of the instrument. The location of any fire could thus be pinpointed even in the dark. [1]

  7. List of chemical process simulators - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_chemical_process...

    This is a list of software used to simulate the material and energy balances of chemical process plants. Applications for this include design studies, engineering studies, design audits, debottlenecking studies, control system check-out, process simulation, dynamic simulation, operator training simulators, pipeline management systems, production management systems, digital twins.

  8. Evacuation simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evacuation_simulation

    Pedestrian evacuation simulation are popular in the fire safety design of building when a performance based approach is used. [7] Simulations are not primarily methods for optimization. To optimize the geometry of a building or the procedure with respect to evacuation time, a target function has to be specified and minimized.

  9. FLACS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLACS

    Continuous research and development from then onwards resulted in many commercial releases. In 2006, FLACS v8.1 was released to customers. Till then FLACS was developed for Unix and Linux platforms. In 2008, however, FLACS v9.0 was released for Microsoft Windows platform. FLACS v9.1 and FLACS-Wind was developed in 2010.
