Fire modelling covers methods used to represent fires, smoke movement and their effects through calculations and simulations. It includes hand calculations, zone models, computational fluid dynamics and software such as Fire Dynamics Simulator and CFAST.

Articles examine model assumptions, input data, numerical resolution and scaling, as well as the interpretation of results. Verification and validation and sensitivity analysis address how models are checked and how their outputs depend on modelling choices. The category also includes network models and finite element analysis, connecting different approaches to the questions they are intended to investigate.
