Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the formulation of a dynamical system or set of equations to describe fire evolution, considering variables such as air, material, and environmental changes. The context includes theoretical exploration and practical applications in fire modeling.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants emphasize that the inquiry is not focused on the heat equation but rather on a dynamical system for fire evolution.
  • One participant mentions having prepared sketches and expresses a need for assistance.
  • Another participant suggests looking into fire modeling programs and resources for ideas relevant to the application.
  • Several participants question the level of research conducted by the original poster, suggesting that they should consult academic resources rather than rely solely on online forums.
  • One participant notes a change in the thread's labeling from "A level" to "Intermediate" based on the original poster's contributions.
  • A participant references Michael Faraday’s work on candle chemistry as a classic starting point for understanding fire dynamics.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express varying opinions on the level of research expected from the original poster, with some suggesting a need for more academic inquiry. There is no consensus on the specific approach to modeling fire evolution, and multiple viewpoints on the appropriate resources and methods remain present.

Contextual Notes

Limitations include the lack of specific assumptions or definitions regarding the dynamical system being sought, as well as the unresolved nature of the original poster's research background and needs.

Who May Find This Useful

Individuals interested in fire dynamics, modeling, and those seeking to understand the complexities of fire evolution in various environments may find this discussion relevant.

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. :smile:

What have you found so far in your searching? Do you have access to FEA software packages? What is the application?
 
Well, i prepared some sketches, but i think i need help...
 
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 :).
