摘要
In this study, the predictions of several computer fire models (CCFM, FAST, FIRST and BRI) are compared with each other and with experimental data from Australia. The experimental results were obtained by Keough (Venting Fires through Roofs, Report no. 344, Commonwealth Experimental Building Station, Australia, 1972) at Darwin airport in 1971 for relatively large fires (4 MW and 36 MW). Each model has its own virtues but no model, as yet, is consistently superior. Further work necessary for improvement of the models is discussed; hopefully, this will lead to their application to building design in the future.
