Mathematical Modelling of Fire Phenomena

Once the sole preserve of academics and research institutions with expensive high-powered computers, sophisticated mathematical fire models are now within the grasp of engineers equipped with a modern PC. But while the tools have proliferated, there is not yet sufficient understanding of or practical application of models among general users. This intermediate and upper level text with accompanying CD-ROM is aimed at students and professionals in the new discipline of fire safety engineering. Based on a series of successful short courses at the University of Greenwich, the book will be written in a clear, practical style and will demystify the .
