- Abstract
Indoor fires are quite dangerous,claiming many casualties and resulting in great property loss.Using Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD),a three-dimensional large eddy simulation model of smoke flow is set up.Through the simulation of smoke flow,the theoretical basis is provided for controlling a fire in multiple rooms,thereby saving people.The results of simulation show that high temperatures and thick smoke exist near the fire,and the probability of combusting other tinder will increase.Moreover,there are close relationships between fire and ventilation.The latter can lower the average temperature and speed up the spread of smoke flow and toxic gases,providing conditions for the further development of indoor fire.Moreover,from both the simulated calculation and physical measurement,it is shown that indoor fires and their temperature distribution and smoke concentration are influenced by the fire power and the room size.The results from calculation and measurement are quite consistent.
