A matlab toolbox for hydrocarbon fires modelling
You can find the download link for the toolbox and installation instructions here
fireSIM Toolbox features empirical models for hydrocarbon fire modelling.
It includes 4 applications, each for a specific phenomenon : pool fires, fireballs, jetfires, and gas outflows, with consideration to ambient conditions...
Pool fires : Solid flame model, Mudan, Zabetakis-Burgess ...
Fireball : Solid flame, TNO
Jet fire : SHELL-Chamberlain,
Pool fires : flame length & tilt, burning rate, heatflux over distance (1D & 2D* ), thermal effects - probabilities of death or injury, estimated number of injuries/death in the area
Fireball : fireball geometrical properties, burning rate, heatflux over distance (1D & 2D* ), thermal effects - probabilities of death or injury, estimated number of injuries/death in the area
Jet fires : Geometrical properties, flow properties, heatflux over distance, thermal effects - probabilities of death or injury.
You can also define custom targets at a specific distance from the center of the fire to evaluate the heatflux it receives and the probability of death/injury at that location.
Gas outflow : Outflow from tanks/vessels : evolution of flowrate, pressure, and other properties over time.
*only in no wind conditions.
All featured models were presented in the book : Fires, Explosions, and Toxic Gas Dispersions: Effects Calculation and Risk Analysis - by Marc J. Assael, Konstantinos E. Kakosimos - CRC Press - Published February 23, 2010 - ISBN 9781439826751 -
