| Abstract: |
Several methods for studying predictive capability and sensitivity have been applied to fire models, but with limited utility. These range from explicit evaluation of the equations used in simple models such as ASET to evaluation of complex models from numerous computer runs of a model along with usually quantitative comparison to laboratory experiments. This paper presents a discussion of the issues involved in conducting an evaluation of a complex room fire model. Examples using currently available room fire models are presented. |
