FV3001 Enclosure Fire Dynamics - University of Central Lancashire

Learning outcome 1: Apply the relevant principles and techniques of chemistry, physics, maths to the study of enclosure fire dynamics

Learning outcome 2: Critically review the principles of modelling

Problem 1:
The deterministic models used in fire engineering can be divided into three categories: CFD models, zone models, and hand-calculation models. define each of these categories.

Problem 2:
Briefly explain the following terms: backdraft, flashover, fuel-controlled fire, ventilation-controlled fire, pre-flashover fire and post-flashover fire.

Problem 3:
What are the factors controlling energy release rates in enclosure fires?

Problem 4:
The flow of gases from an enclosure containing fire depends on the pressure differences between the enclosure and the surroundings. A quantification of the pressure differences is therefore of fundamental importance. It is convenient to split the driving pressure differences into two categories. In the first category the pressure differences are caused by the fire. In the second category the pressure differences are caused by normal conditions that are either always present in a building or are created by differences in conditions inside and outside of the building.
Discuss this in briefly.

Problem 5:
Discuss briefly: energy release rates based on free burn measurements
