Room flashover and subsequent filling of the structure with smoke

This work describes room flashover and subsequent filling of the structure with smoke. Modeling of the progress of the smoke is possible with a variety of available computer codes, thus permitting calculations of temperature and smoke level in different rooms as time progresses. The CFAST computer code (Consolidated model of Fire growth And Smoke Transport) is used to calculate temperatures and smoke levels in the various rooms of the house initially. Experimental work assists in understanding fire behavior in structural fires.
