- Abstract
- The Fire Center has conducted a series of full-scale tests of hotel-like rooms. The furnishings were a bed with headboard "made up" with bedding, and a wooden sidetable. The ignition source was a wastebasket. The furniture was burned in the new NBS furniture calorimeter and in 2.44 x 3.66 x 2.44 high room. As an adjunct to analysis of the test results, a series of simulations of the fire tests were run using the Harvard Fire Simulation. This report describes the simulations and their results.
