... significant and systematic progress in fire modeling, based on a fundamental understanding of fire phenomena. In 2016, the Condensed Phase Phenomena MaCFP Subgroup was formed to maintain an effort focused on improving the predictive capabilities of numerical simulations of thermal decomposition and pyrolysis...

... Specific heat capacity of red oak and Douglas fir was measured from 0°C to 438°C using differential scanning calorimetry to provide input parameters for fire modeling. Techniques that allow for measurement of the standard heat capacity, excluding the effects of heat of reaction, were explored...

... The study described in this paper explored methods for measuring heat flux from a flame to a specimen surface using the cone calorimeter. Knowledge of flame heat flux in cone calorimeter measurements of heat release and mass loss rates used as input for fire modeling is needed to make accurate...

... This paper discusses important input parameters used by the Fire Dynamics Simulator, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of fire. Suggestions are made for new or enhanced submodels and measurements specifically for CFD models of fire. fire modeling compartment fires input...
