FSE 355 – Fire Dynamics

Fire Dynamics is an introduction to advanced fire and combustion concepts and the associated terminology and measurement techniques. Students will define and describe the development and dynamics of fire in a contained compartment, and use data to quantify and analyze the phenomena. Students will gain an understanding of temperature, heat fluxes, pre- and post- flashover, heat curves and a mathematical analysis will be performed. Current computer modeling programs will be used to plot the growth of a fire in a compartment.
