Abstract


Building fires heavy pollute the air and jeopardize human health and life. In this paper, the Large Eddy Simulation method of Fire Dynamics Simulator code has been used to investigate the temperature regime and the pollutant concentrations in a compartment and near a building wall under fire scenario. Numerical results show that the generation of fire products in the compartment is largely dependent on the temperature and the quantity of oxygen available for combustion. The outdoor plume parameters are affected by the temperature difference between the fire flame and plume and the surrounding ambient air.
