Modeling Smoke and Fire in a Hotel Bedroom
White Paper
ABSTRACT
This paper discusses the need to predict the “bulk” effects on the surrounding environment in the event of fire. A hotel bedroom fire experiment performed by NIST is used to verify the results of the simulation, which predicts room airflow, temperature distribution, and safety factors such as hazardous gases and visibility under realistic boundary conditions, including furniture or ventilation systems.
