- Abstract
- Enclosure fires are of great interest because of the resulting loss of life and property, yet the fluid dynamic and chemical behaviors of fires within enclosures are still not well understood. In recent decades, it has become clear that burning rates, fire growth and spread, production of toxic gases, and depletion of oxygen in room fires are very dependent on air supply and entrainment rates.
