Abstract:
Sources of data needed for predictive modeling of fire
growth by FAST and ASET, two computer codes developed at
the Center for Fire Research, are identified for a few
selectd materials. Data includes thermophysical
properties of compartment lining materials and burning
rates and combustion product generation rates for
typical combustible contents.
