Radiative Exchange

The need for an accurate simulation of the radiative heat transfer in a fire zone model is demonstrated. Results show that the lack of an accurate model of the relevant physics of radiative heat transfer can lead to uncertainty which can severely limit the usefulness of a fire zone model. An accurate numerical model of radiative exchange including the effect of scattering, is applied to simulate the effect of radiative heat transfer on fire growth. Typical conservation equations in a fire zone models are used.

Abstract Radiation heat transfer is a primary reason for fire growth. Experimental data are needed to clarify the ignition potential and time required to ignite a particular “target” second item. The objective of the present contribution is to clarify how the size and material of a pool fire determine ignition distance capability, and exemplify realistic calculations related to real-world situations.
