Overview: The fire modeling community is actively working to develop the tools needed to quantitatively predict material and product flammability (e.g., ignition, burning rate, fire growth). State-of-the-art fire models require accurate and efficient simulation of the tightly coupled, time-dependent condensed- and gas-phase processes that control the rate of fire growth and input parameters (material properties) that describe combustible solids’ decomposition reaction mechanism (and associated kinetics and thermodynamics) and relevant heat/mass transport properties. To address this need, the NIST Fire Research …
