Objectives of Programme (Cont.)
Development and validation of software models which comprise the following:
- A fire model capable of predicting the spread of fire hazards throughout the atmosphere of a forced ventilated enclosure, subject to a fire of prescribed characteristics.
- A model which predicts the behaviour of fire sensors and, depending on the fire threat, the activation of the fire suppression system.
- A water mist/fire atmosphere interaction model.
- A fire suppression model.
- A radiation model.
Candidate suppression system - water mist.
Further work will be required for alternative agents such as powder and gas, and alternative structures (e.g.... buildings).
