Fire Whirls and Building Aerodynamics
Numerical modeling of the behavior of fire and smoke within proposed building atria have revealed the possible presence of violent fire whirls or fire tornadoes induced by an inadvertent combination of ventilation and exhaust openings. Such fire vortexes can accelerate combustion up to ten times that seen during conventional fires, rapidly move fire and debris across available evacuation routes...
متن کاملSimulating Fire Spread with Landscape Management Scenarios
Collectively, landscape structure, fuel loading, and weather control wildland fires. Our objective was to examine the impacts of landscape structure, weather and fire-ignition location on fire spread using FARSITE. We simulated surface fires in the Chequamegon National Forest, Wisconsin, on five landscapes: a control and four harvested landscapes created using HARVEST by varying the amount (2% ...
متن کاملEvaluation of an Environment-aware Sequence-based Localization Algorithm for Building Fire Emergency Scenarios
Real-time access to indoor localization information is critical to the success of building emergency response operations. It enables first responders not only to locate themselves to avoid getting lost or disoriented, but also to quickly find and rescue trapped occupants. The environment-aware sequence-based localization (EASBL) is an algorithm proposed by the authors for indoor localization at...
متن کاملFight fire with fire
Since our hunter–gatherer ancestors began to develop agriculture more than 10,000 years ago, farmers have been battling with Nature to protect their cultivated plants against pests and diseases. Organisms from all kingdoms of life—from mammals and insects to bacteria, fungi and viruses—are attracted by the easy pickings that large fields of plants represent, and farmers have sought to contain t...
متن کاملFire Hazards of Some Modern Solid Fuels
Fire hazard during ship transportation of certain modern solid fuels is identified. A particular mechanism which may lead to catastrophic ship fire is discussed. A mathematical model predicting time to such fully developed fire (flashover time) I s proposed. An analytical solution is obtained for the developed model. An important part of this solution is a closed form analytical description of ...
