Paper submission deadline: 15th Aug, 2014
Validation remains an essential activity for the
continuous improvement of computational fire modelling skills. By validation,
we refer to the determination of the expected level of accuracy and the range
of applicability of a given fire model by means of comparison to experiments
(or higher hierarchy models).
Papers are invited as part of a special issue of Fire
Technology devoted to validation studies of modelling of any fire phenomena
(eg, pyrolysis, flames, compartment fires, wildfires, structural response,
toxicity). Of interest are topics that contribute towards the understanding of
its strengths and weaknesses, and include among others:
• Validation
techniques
• High-fidelity
modelling
• Benchmark
experiments
• Multi-model
comparison
• A
priori vs. a posteriori
• Round
robin studies

FT is
the interdisciplinary journal by the National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA) and Springer, spanning the whole range of fire safety science and
engineering. It is the oldest fire journal, publishing uninterruptedly since
1965. The aims are to provide and advocate for research and education in fire
safety engineering, and reduce the worldwide burden of fire hazards.

*Paper Submission*
Authors are encouraged to submit high-quality, original
work that has neither appeared in, nor is under consideration by, other
journals. All open submissions will be peer reviewed subject to the standards
of the journal. Manuscripts based on previously published conference papers
must be extended substantially. The journal accepts three types of manuscripts
(full papers, case studies and short communications). Letters to the Editor are
also considered. Manuscripts should be submitted to: http://fire.edmgr.com.
Please choose article type “Validation of Fire Modelling"
when submitting.
