Smokeview: A Visualization Tool for Understanding Fire Dynamics

December 1, 2008
Author(s)
Glenn P. Forney
The purpose of fire modeling is to gain a better insight into fire dynamics and how it impacts fire safety -- not to generate large amounts of data. Gaining this insight requires visualization tools that display what the numbers generated by the model

Visualization, A Tool For Understanding Fire Dynamics
