Large eddy simulation of buoyant window spill plume from intermediate-scale compartment fires using FireFOAM

摘要

This paper presents a numerical large eddy simulation (LES)study of buoyant window spill plume from intermediate-scalecompartment fires with an emphasis on the evaluation of theability of FireFOAM (2.2.x) to simulate intermediate-scalebuoyant fire plumes. Both simulation and experiment areconducted. It is found that with optimal configuration thesimulation results are in a good qualitative agreement withexperimental data on the basis of discussion on flames shapes,temperature vertical distribution inside the chamber, temperaturedistribution of fire plume ejected from window opening.
