- Abstract
- Recent rapid advances in the development of fire modeling techniques and recognition of their potential uses in fire safety have suggested a role for ASTM. The mathematical representation of the fire growth process and its effect on materials and people according to the appropriate mass and energy relationships of combustion, heat transfer, and fluid flow is fire modeling. The following examines the history and current direction of ASTM's role in fire modeling.
