Numerical Study on Large Scale Pool Fire in a Compartment
Аннотация
The current numerical simulation provides a qualitative
comparison to experimental results. Experiment was
conducted with diesel fuel under circular pan positioned at
centre of the compartment [1]. The details of fuel pan made of mild steel material with 0.003 m sheet thickness has
diameter 0.8 m and lip height 0.12 m. Full door open fire test
is simulated using Fire Dynamic Simulator (FDS) developed
by NIST, USA. Heat Release Rate (HRR) values obtained
experimental is used as an input to numerical simulator
(FDS). The actual experimental room dimensions (internal)
are 4 m × 4 m × 4 m and having 0.27 m wall thickness while in numerical studies; size of computational domain has been kept as 6 m × 6 m × 6 m. Predicted results on temperature are compared with experimental data measured from full-scale burning tests. For most cases, the predicted results agree reasonably well with the experimental data.
