LEARNING OUTCOMES

After the course, the student can

  1. apply the basic theory of thermodynamics, combustion and heat transfer to the fire situations,
  2. understand the basic assumptions of the numerical fire models, and perform simple CFD-based fire simulations,
  3. understand and mathematically model the flammability of gases, liquids and solids,
  4. develop fire model inputs from fire scenarios and critically review and communicate the model inputs and assumptions, and
  5. evaluate the thermal performance of structures in fire.
