COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMIC MODELLING OF FIRE INCIDENT

This proposal outlines the background of the project “Computational Fluid Dynamic Modeling of Fire incident”. Fire incident is one of the incidents causing casualties, property damage to some circumstances it will also causing death. Fire incident may due to some explosion of the electrical application, short circuit or due to the unintentionally burning activity. Nonetheless, limited research has been done on fire incident in order to investigate the cause of fire, the spread of fire with respect to the material surrounding during the incident and this will focus on one case study of the Terwindle Rest House Fire incident. Based on the investigation report (Byrne1994), this fire resulted in seven fatalities and extensive fire damage to the building.
