This gives us the opportunity to compare experimental values with the SFPE calculation. The SFPE Handbook of Fire Protection Engineering provides equations that predict the heat release rate for such a fire. I chose this example because the paper clearly describes the details of both the experiment and the supporting analysis and because one of the experiments burned a wood crib. To guide this discussion, we use an experiment and analysis performed at the VTT Research Center of Finland. In many cases, describing a fire using the heat release rate is both the simplest and most reliable approach. The challenge is that this can result in a bewildering array of options with respect to modeling the combustion process. One of the strengths of FDS, the Fire Dynamics Simulator, is that it can be a useful tool for both a fire protection engineer and a fire researcher. In the video below we show how to model a fire using a specified heat release rate (HRR). Heat Release Rate Defined Fires - VTT Experiment Simulation tool for fire and rescue services.
