Description

The course will provide discussion of deterministic models for the prediction of fire growth, smoke spread, detection and suppression. Probabilistic models will then be discussed and their application to predictions of reliability and for human behaviour. Computer simulations of example problems ranging from fuel spillage, dispersion and fire, building fire growth, detection, control and egress to explsion simulation will be given and current developments in technology and research issues discussed.

Note: Short Course mode only (compulsory 5 day workshop plus assessable tasks completed subsequently).
