  • Abstract
    Fire dynamics deals with technical aspects of fires, from ignition to investigation emphasizing scientific understanding and application to real-world fire situations. Recent extensive study, research, experimentation and field observations and measurements have led to the need for critical evaluation of phenomena associated with fire dynamics. Fire investigators can develop an appreciation for technical/scientific understanding of the phenomena and its applicability to real-world practical down-to-earth situations
