- Abstract
- The purpose of this report is to summarize the work which has been ongoing at the Department of Fire Safety Engineering at Lund University within the field of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for the last two years. Most of this work has been carried out within the BRANDFORSK project B61, "Fire Development in Large Compartments". A study of the fire development in large compartments, which in the long term is to result in practical use for design, must be carried out in three stages. The first stage involves scenario-independent research, which has as a goal to devlop and improve sub-models which then are used in general predictive codes. Stage two involves defining a number of typical scenarios and using predictive codes, statistics and fault-tree analysis to investigate how different fire prevention measures influence the fire development. In stage three these tools are used for sensitivity analysis which result in practical design guidelines with respect to different fire prevention measures.
