Large eddy simulation of room fire spread using a medium scale compartment made of medium density fibreboard (MDF) panels
At present, there is a shortage of experimental and simulation studies on fire spread in medium- and large-scale compartments while the existing models of the fire spread are limited for typical engineering ap...
