Large Outdoor Fire Dynamics provides the essential knowledge for
the hazard evaluation of large outdoor fires, including wildland,
WUI (wildland-urban interface), and urban fires. The spread of
outdoor fires can be viewed as a successive occurrence of physical
and chemical processes - solid fuel combustion, heat transfer to
surrounding combustibles, and ignition of heated combustibles -
which are explained herein. Engineering equations frequently used
in practical hazard analyses are derived and then integrated to
implement a computational code predicting fire spread among
discretely distributed combustibles. This code facilitates learning
the procedure of hazard evaluation for large outdoor fires.
Chapters cover underlying assumptions for analyzing fire spread
behavior in large outdoor fires, namely, wind conditions near the
ground surface and fundamentals of heat transfer; the physical
mechanism of fire spread in and between combustibles, specifically
focusing on fire plumes (both reacting and non-reacting) and
firebrand dispersal; and the spatial modeling of 3D objects and
developing the computational framework for predicting fire spread.
The book is ideal for engineers, researchers, and graduate students
in fire safety as well as mechanical engineering, civil
engineering, disaster management, safety engineering, and planning.
Companion source codes are available online.
