CFD and realistic visualization for the analysis of fire scenarios
Daniel Barrero, Jean-Philippe Hardy, Marcelo Reggio, Benoı̂t Ozell · 2004
This poster presents the current status of our work on the combination of advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD) fire simulations and realistic (real time) rendering techniques for the analysis of real-life fire scenarios. Fire representation is a complex issue because it has to deal with a combustion process, a flame front separating fresh and burnt gases, smoke, visibility and illumination. While for the actual simulation of fire scenarios we could use specific CFD fire simulation models [Barrero et al. 2003; Hardy 2004], the use of traditional flow visualization techniques can only give us a limited insight on the behavior of these kinds of phenomena.
