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 -
