- Abstract
- The NBS/Harvard VI multiroom fire model computer code was used to simulate results of previously reported full-scale, multi-room fire experiments. The tests and simulations involved: four different compartment configurations made up of two or three rooms connected by open doorways, four different fire types generated by a methane burner located in the room identified as the burn room, and up to four different doorway openings between the burn room and the adjcent space. A total of nineteen different tests were carried out and simulated.
