Mathematical Modeling and Simulation of Development of the Fires in Confined Spaces

Rositsa Velichkova, Ivan Antonov, Svetlin Antonov and Kamen Grozdanov

A chapter in Fire Safety and Management Awareness from IntechOpen

Abstract: The mathematical models of fire distribution in a confined space-in underground garages and in buildings--are described. Integral and computational fluid mechanics methods are used. The chapter presents the results of a fire simulation using the software Fluent. It uses Reynolds-type turbulence models of the Fire Dynamic Simulation or PyroSim graphical interface with a solution model describing a turbulence. For both cases, the pictures of the spread of fire and smoke over time in an atrium of an administrative building and a five-story building of the TUS were presented.
