- The subject area of this research encompasses fire engineering and computational methods. The topic of the study is to advance non-grey thermal radiation models in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) fire simulation codes. Thermal radiation modelling in CFD fire codes has either been too simplistic and less rigorous or advanced and too computationally demanding. This work is significant, because it proposes a rigorous approach based on the box model offering a good compromise between accuracy and computing times. Funded by the insurer FM Global (USA), this work has been implemented in the opensource fire simulation code FireFOAM and used worldwide.
