Fire dynamics covers the physical processes that govern how fires grow, release heat and interact with their surroundings. Central topics include heat release rate, fire plumes, flame height, burning rate and the movement of hot gases beneath ceilings.
Articles connect fuel properties and fire load with the development of a design fire. The category also includes plume correlations, radiation models, entrainment and turbulence. These topics provide the physical relationships used to describe fire size, gas flow and thermal exposure in analyses of smoke movement, building protection and fire effects.
