Objectives

The main aim of the project leading to creation of this website is to gain better understanding of counter-fires. This involves specifically:

• Assessment if CFD can be used in modelling of counter-fires;
• Choice of appropriate software;
• Generation of a CFD model enabling for prediction of: 
• Fire and weather conditions suitable for counter-firing; 
• Distance at which to place counter-fires effectively.
• Evaluation of fire and weather conditions suitable for counter-firing;
• Comparison of the results with previous CFD work on the subject;
• Description of a proposed validation procedure providing all the necessary data.
