Fire spreading simulation in large buildings based on cellular automata
Daniel-Ioan Curiac · 2010
The buildings fire safety is currently an important subject for researchers and practitioners due to probable incidents that can happen inside industrial plants, large public buildings or transport facilities: fires, explosions, toxic releases, etc. Even minor events can seriously endanger life, goods and environment. Particularly, fire spreading in large buildings represents a major threat that can be investigated using computer simulation to reduce its severe consequences. The cellular automata based method presented in this paper represents a fast and interactive tool designed for fire spreading investigation in large buildings.
