Abstract

Fires caused by human activities are one of the main causes of losses in terms of both human lives and material and economic capital. To prevent these losses, it is necessary to perform the needed activities of research in the area of industrial fires, as such one of the methods of achieving this, is to perform computer aided numerical simulations of fires. By this process of computational modelling, we can determine the causes of the fires, and the mechanism by which the fire has propagated and developed. Also, numerical modelling of fires, can help in the development of procedures, and norms, which we can implement, to protect the personnel and to prevent material and economic losses.

Summary

Introduction

To better understand the evolution of fires, it is necessary to perform the necessary scientific research in this area. One of the possibilities of research on this issue, is the numerical simulation of the fires, using specific computational tools, available for this purpose. These computational tools can be of two type: software and hardware. The hardware part of this is represented in the form of computing devices available, and the software component that is installed on the computing hardware, and these two components are used to perform the computational modelling of fires, and the visualization of the results. We will focus our attention on the Fire Dynamics Simulator version 6.7.1 of the software package
