Undergrad Equation for Fire Evolution Dynamics

[Thomas Gajdek]

It is NOT about the heat equation. I'm asking about a dynamical system or equations set to describe fire evolution, with given fuctions of air, material and enviorment change.

Welcome to the PF.

What have you found so far in your searching? Do you have access to FEA software packages? What is the application?

 

[Thomas Gajdek]

Well, i prepared some sketches, but i think i need help...

Have a look through these fire modeling programs and resources, to see if you get any ideas for something that will work for your application:

You labelled this thread as A level. That means you expect a graduate level answer, correct?

What research have you done so far? What papers have you read? It doesn't make sense to ask that question to strangers on the Internet rather than going to your University Library.

I had changed it just now to Intermediate "I" instead of Advanced/PhD based on his other posts. But we can change it back if needed, based on his reply.

I've just thouht about it for the first time. Now I'm experimenting with CFAST and candles :).

In that case, you may want to start with a classic:
