  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. 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.

  4. Wildfire modeling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildfire_modeling

    A simple wildfire propagation model. Wildfire modeling is concerned with numerical simulation of wildfires to comprehend and predict fire behavior. [1] [2] Wildfire modeling aims to aid wildfire suppression, increase the safety of firefighters and the public, and minimize damage.

  6. 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 ...

  7. Dynamic simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_simulation

    Dynamic simulation (or dynamic system simulation) is the use of a computer program to model the time-varying behavior of a dynamical system. The systems are typically described by ordinary differential equations or partial differential equations. A simulation run solves the state-equation system to find the behavior of the state variables over ...

  8. Howard Wilson Emmons - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_Wilson_Emmons

    He has been called "the father of modern fire science" for his contribution to the understanding of flame propagation and fire dynamics. [2] He also helped design the first supersonic wind tunnel, identified a signature of the transition to turbulence in boundary layer flows (now known as "Emmons spots"), and was the first to observe compressor ...
