- Abstract
- The conservation laws are presented in control volume form and applied to the behavior of fire in enclosures. The behavior of enclosure fires are discussed and the assumptions for justifying the use of the control volume or "zone" modeling approach are presented. The governing equations are derived and special solutions are given. Flow through wall vents, room filling, and growing fires are analyzed.
