ABSTRACT
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is an advanced technique devoted to the analysis of a wide variety of turbulence, heat transfer and combustion problems. It consists of solving a set of Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) for conservation of mass, momentum and energy in conjunction with several auxiliary models dedicated, for example, to the treatment of turbulence, combustion and boundary conditions (see chapter 2). The continuous increase in computational power has made CFD a popular technique among practitioners, engineers and researchers in many fields, including fire research and engineering.
