does anyone have any knowledge on fire modelling?
Fire Modelling: An Overview of Knowledge and Techniques
In summary, the conversation revolved around fire modelling and the use of configuration factors, specifically in relation to pool fire modelling. It was mentioned that the speaker has experience working with configuration factors for various types of flames and target structures in relation to radiation exchange. They also asked if there was a specific solution or detail that the other person was interested in regarding this topic.

are you familiar with pool fire modelling?the shape is a sheared cylinder or a tilted cylinder. I am kinda stuck with the configuration factor part.

I've completely missed this thread ... sorry 
!
If this has any relevance anymore, yeah, have worked with CFs for different types of flames & target structures for radiation exchange, are you looking for a particular solution or interested in some specific detail of the approach?

What is fire modelling?
Fire modelling is the process of simulating and predicting the behavior and spread of fire in a given environment. It involves using mathematical equations and computer simulations to understand how fire will behave in different scenarios.
What are the main purposes of fire modelling?
The main purposes of fire modelling are to improve fire safety and prevention, aid in firefighting strategies, and inform building design and evacuation plans. Fire modelling can also help in understanding the potential impact of fires on the environment and human health.
What are the different types of fire modelling techniques?
There are several types of fire modelling techniques, including deterministic, empirical, and computational. Deterministic models use physical equations to predict fire behavior, while empirical models are based on data from past fires. Computational models use computer simulations to predict fire spread and behavior.
What are the limitations of fire modelling?
Fire modelling is not a perfect science and has its limitations. One of the main limitations is the difficulty in accurately predicting human behavior during a fire, as it can greatly impact the spread and severity of a fire. Additionally, fire modelling relies on accurate input data, and any errors or uncertainties in the data can affect the accuracy of the predictions.
How is fire modelling used in real-world applications?
Fire modelling is used in various real-world applications, such as in building design and fire safety regulations. It is also used by fire departments to plan and strategize for potential fires and to evaluate the effectiveness of firefighting techniques. Fire modelling is also used in research to improve our understanding of fire behavior and to develop new fire safety measures.
