Download or read book Fire Modelling written by G. Cox and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Digest explains the methodologies being used for the computer simulation of fire. It focuses on models of the fire itself: the essentially gas phase phenomenon at the heart of any fire simulation. Numerical modelling has become increasingly attractive for those wishing to fully exploit the freedoms to achieve safe, cost effective design offered by performance based regulation. This new edition of Digest 367 supersedes the version published in 1991. It explains fire growth and spread, and the two basic types of computer simulation methodologies. These are the zonal models, and the more universal field models that use the specialist discipline of computational fluid dynamics. Two types of field model are described which employ alternative approaches using Reynolds Averaged and Large Eddy methodologies to capture the influences of turbulence. An example shows the BRE CRISP model applied to the problem of smoke spread through a two storey theatre and the evacuation of the occupants.

Download or read book Wicked written by Gregory Maguire and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times bestseller and basis for the Tony-winning hit musical, soon to be a major motion picture starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande With millions of copies in print around the world, Gregory Maguire’s Wicked is established not only as a commentary on our time but as a novel to revisit for years to come. Wicked relishes the inspired inventions of L. Frank Baum’s 1900 novel, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, while playing sleight of hand with our collective memories of the 1939 MGM film starring Margaret Hamilton (and Judy Garland). In this fast-paced, fantastically real, and supremely entertaining novel, Maguire has populated the largely unknown world of Oz with the power of his own imagination. Years before Dorothy and her dog crash-land, another little girl makes her presence known in Oz. This girl, Elphaba, is born with emerald-green skin—no easy burden in a land as mean and poor as Oz, where superstition and magic are not strong enough to explain or overcome the natural disasters of flood and famine. Still, Elphaba is smart, and by the time she enters Shiz University, she becomes a member of a charmed circle of Oz’s most promising young citizens. But Elphaba’s Oz is no utopia. The Wizard’s secret police are everywhere. Animals—those creatures with voices, souls, and minds—are threatened with exile. Young Elphaba, green and wild and misunderstood, is determined to protect the Animals—even if it means combating the mysterious Wizard, even if it means risking her single chance at romance. Ever wiser in guilt and sorrow, she can find herself grateful when the world declares her a witch. And she can even make herself glad for that young girl from Kansas. Recognized as an iconoclastic tour de force on its initial publication, the novel has inspired the blockbuster musical of the same name—one of the longest-running plays in Broadway history. Popular, indeed. But while the novel’s distant cousins hail from the traditions of magical realism, mythopoeic fantasy, and sprawling nineteenth-century sagas of moral urgency, Maguire’s Wicked is as unique as its green-skinned witch.

Download or read book Design Methodologies for Smoke and Heat Exhaust Ventilation written by H. P. Morgan and published by Building Research Establishment. This book was released on 1999 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide summarizes the advice available from the Fire Research Station, to designers of Smoke and Heat Exhaust Ventilation Systems (SHEVS) for atria and other buildings. It builds upon currently available published advice (especially BRE Report Design approaches for smoke control in atrium buildings[13], but also BRE Report Design principles for smoke ventilation in enclosed shopping centres[24]), by including more guidance on the use of the methods given, and by including the results of research carried out since the publication of ref. [13] in 1994. In particular, the use of a design fire size is considered in more detail, including: a discussion of growing fires; formulae and calculation methods to determine the deflection of smoke curtains in fire situations so that the specification of smoke curtains can become part of the SHEVS design; the effects due to airflow on the efficiency of natural smoke exhaust ventilators and on the stability of smoke layers. This guide does not consider the scenario where a fire in a room connecting to an atrium causes a flame plume to rise into the atrium. In this context, any large space adjoining the fire room may be considered to be an atrium, eg malls in shopping complexes. A discussion is included of the factors which need to be considered when specifying the hardware (ventilators, smoke curtains, etc.) required to implement the design in a building. Some advice is also included on: factors to be considered in installing the system in buildings; how to test the functioning of the equipment separately and as a complete system once it has been installed; and 'good practice' measures involving the management and maintenance of the system when the building is in everyday use. The purpose of this book therefore is to provide practical guidance on the design of smoke-control systems. It reflects current knowledge and is based on the results of research where available, including as yet unpublished results of experiments. In addition, it draws on the authors' cumulative experience of design features required for regulatory purposes in many individual smoke-control applications. Many of these design features have evolved over several years by consensus between regulatory authorities, developers and fire scientists, rather than by specific research. The methodology underpinning the book is explicitly empirical in approach and can easily be extended to most buildings. Where guidance is necessary to address practical design issues but there are gaps in the established knowledge-base, the authors have exercised their professional judgement in offering conservative, pragmatic advice. When guidance is offered in these circumstances any potential weaknesses are made explicit. Related to this is the continuance of the philosophy used in the book's predecessor BRE Reports[13,24] that even where a document is difficult to obtain, or even verbal private communication is the source of advice, it is listed as a reference.

Download or read book Adapting Buildings and Cities for Climate Change written by David Crichton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-10-26 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the bestselling author of Ecohouse, this fully revised edition of Adapting Buildings and Cities for Climate Change provides unique insights into how we can protect our buildings, cities, infra-structures and lifestyles against risks associated with extreme weather and related social, economic and energy events. Three new chapters present evidence of escalating rates of environmental change. The authors explore the growing urgency for mitigation and adaptation responses that deal with the resulting challenges. Theoretical information sits alongside practical design guidelines, so architects, designers and planners can not only see clearly what problems they face, but also find the solutions they need, in order to respond to power and water supply needs. Considers use of materials, structures, site issues and planning in order to provide design solutions. Examines recent climate events in the US and UK and looks at how architecture was successful or not in preventing building damage. Adapting Buildings and Cities for Climate Change is an essential source, not just for architects, engineers and planners facing the challenges of designing our building for a changing climate, but also for everyone involved in their production and use.
