... of ventilation on heat flux and flame temperature has also been studied. Compartment gas temperature has been examined by five wood crib burning stages: Ignition, growth, steady burning, recess and collapse. Originality/value Findings demonstrate that the influence of vent openings varies for the burning...

... to the fire source) are modeled in FDS. The effects of input parameters such as grid size and number of solid angles on the accuracy of the numerical results have been investigated. Experimental results concerning heat fluxes and temperatures are compared with the numerical results. Good agreements between...
