Fire-Induced Smoke Movement and Control

Abstract

Fire-induced smoke influences the safe evacuation of occupants and firefighters&rsquo; ability to extinguish a fire. About 80% of deaths in fires were caused by toxic smoke, according to statistics. Hence, how to control smoke is of great importance in order to reduce fire hazards. <br />In this Special Issue, the scope was to gather original, fundamental and applied research concerning experimental, theoretical, computational and case studies that contribute towards the understanding of fire-induced smoke.
