Abstract:
We have examined the concept of zone modeling as it has
been applied to fire problems. The existing models
which embody the zone concept are compared in order to
ascertain the state-of-the-art in understanding of fire
growth and fire spread processes. This review is
intended to be a starting point for future modeling
efforts and thus the discussion centers around the use
of the various submodels.
