- Abstract
- Comprehensive mathematical models of fire growth need to draw upon information from a wide range of research specialties. To foster communication between builders of comprehensive fire models and specialists in other areas of fire research, the subprogram subcommittee has prepared this state-of-the art review of the specialized fire research areas. In each case the topic reviews are generated by experts in the areas from the standpoint of providing essential information to builders of comprehensive fire models. It is envisioned that individuals from each of these specialized areas will eventually prepare algorithms (computer subprograms (or simple algebraic formulae), data and important outcome of these reviews are their recommendations for assembling existing knowledge or obtaining new concepts and data needed for comprehensive model predictions.
