In recent years fire science has made rapid progress due to the increase in research on the subject. This book brings together state-of-the-art contributions on those aspects of fire within the engineering science ofcombustion. Written by leading experts, the book seeks to identify the role of fire in the spectrum of combustion science. Individual chapters address solid phase combustion, turbulent diffusion flames, and thermal plumes. The text then examines the consequences of fire occurring within an enclosure from ignition, through flashover, on to the fully developed phase. Using zonal and CFD methodologies with consideration for fire chemistry, the text also reviews the latest research in the numerical modellingof enclosure fires.
This book will interest all those concerned with fire safety. In particular it will be of value for combustion scientists with an interest in fire and fire protection.
