Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to publish high-quality works obtained from experimental, theoretical, and computational investigations on the fundamentals and applications of fire science and engineering. Since the field of fire science and engineering covers a very wide range from fundamental research to practical application, there are not enough specialized journals where relevant researchers can share in-depth research results. This Special Issue is open to research that can help to better explain complex fire phenomena and ultimately contribute to fire safety design. Potential topics include (but are not limited to) experimental, theoretical, and numerical simulation studies of fire physics and chemistry, fire dynamics, measurements in fire environments, fire detection and suppression system, fire safety design and management, an assessment of fire risk and fire investigation, etc.

We welcome the submission of original works, reviews, and short communications that provide novel insights related to the multidisciplinary fire science and engineering research fields.

Prof. Dr. Cheol-Hong Hwang
Guest Editor

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website.

The Effect of Inclined Conditions on the Consequences of Fires Caused by Spilled Flammable Liquids: Development of Inclined Spreading Extent Formulae
by Daeyu Baeg, Hyunho Lee, Seungyul Lee and Jung Kwan Seo
Appl. Sci. 2024, 14(2), 745; https://0-doi-org.brum.beds.ac.uk/10.3390/app14020745 - 15 Jan 2024

Abstract
The accidental spillage of flammable liquids on in-service ships and offshore installations may lead to pool fires, which are likely to spread over a particularly large area in large compartments under ship motion, resulting in extensive damage. However, the effect of the spreading [...] Read more.
The accidental spillage of flammable liquids on in-service ships and offshore installations may lead to pool fires, which are likely to spread over a particularly large area in large compartments under ship motion, resulting in extensive damage. However, the effect of the spreading extent of liquid fuel due to inclined ship motion on pool fire consequences has not been considered in the existing literature. Thus, in this study, fuel discharge experiments were conducted to investigate the spreading behaviour under different substrate inclination angles and discharge rates. The experimental results were analysed to derive closed-form expressions to predict the spreading extent of liquid fuel in large compartments. Additionally, the effects of surface inclination on fire consequences were investigated using the Fire Dynamics Simulator in terms of the heat release rate. The findings can provide guidance for effective fire safety design and establishing a realistic fire modelling methodology for ships and offshore installations. Full article

In performance-based design for domestic buildings, there is a growing need for real-time comparison between the Available Safe Egress Time and Required Safe Egress Time through the integration of fire and evacuation simulations. Therefore, the utilization of the Consolidated Model of Fire and Smoke Transport (CFAST) has been discussed as an alternative to the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS), which has high computational costs; requires sufficient experience in the numerical calculation of fire dynamics, along with various input parameters; and has limitations in coupling with evacuation simulations. In this study, the prediction performance of CFAST for the activation times of smoke and heat detectors was evaluated. Specifically, it is essential to configure the mass movement between adjacent computational regions for smoke concentration. For achieving adequate predictive performance, the temperature should be determined according to the ceiling jet velocity generated by the fire source. Therefore, a method for setting a computational domain that can produce reasonable prediction results while considering the characteristics of CFAST for different types of smoke and heat detectors is proposed.
