- Abstract
- This thesis is about using computer models in fire reconstruction. The thesis presents a methodology that one should use. Several programs were also developed to aid the user in performing a sensitivity analysis. This thesis uses, as an example, a modeling of a backdraft performed by another individual. It points out the discrepencies and then illustrates the correct methods to use.
