Fire Initiation and Growth
This animation demonstrates how a fire initiates and grows in a cardboard box filled with polystyrene. The heat release rate follows a t-squared growth curve based on NIST test data, with a peak heat release rate of approximately 500 kW.
Fire Initiation Animation
Key Concepts: Heat release rate (HRR), fire growth rate, t-squared fire, flame height, temperature distribution
This animation shows a medium t-squared fire (α = 0.012 kW/s²) with a peak HRR of 500 kW at 300 seconds, followed by a decay phase. The fire is modeled in a storage room (4m × 3m × 2.4m) with a connecting corridor.
