Simulation of combustion and fire-induced flows in enclosures

Abstract

Numerical modelling of combustion in flames and gas flows generated by fires in compartments has been carried out. The laminar flamelet model has been used to model combustion in different degrees of vitiation in order to model fire gas re-circulation which occurs in compartment fires. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling has been used in the calculation of the flow field. The flamelet calculations were carried out using a modified version of the Cranfield SNECKS code and CFD calculations using the Fire Research Station`s JASMINE code. The results from both flamelet and CFD calculations agree reasonably with experimental results. Generally, the deviations from laboratory measurements are less than 30 percent, which is not greater than the errors expected in the measurement. 74 refs, 31 figs, 2 tabs
