- Combustion Behavior of Upholstered Furniture (CBUF); Predictive Fire Model I - developed in greatest detail for upholstered chairs; Predictive Fire Model II - based on an extension of ideas originally developed for representing flame spread over wall and ceiling surfaces; Predictive Fire Model III - physical model to simulate the early fire growth was needed to find the proper forms of correlations, which then could be calibrated against the availble experimental data
