Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the development of human society, various new types of buildings continue to emerge. As the places where humans spend most of their time living and working, buildings must be carefully considered for fire safety. Since casualties in building fires are mainly caused by toxic smoke, research on indoor fire smoke control is demanded and meaningful. The aim of this Special Issue is to provide a platform to present the latest developments in building fire prevention and indoor smoke control, and to discuss possible implications in the associated regulations and standards. Original fundamental and applied research into experimental, theoretical and computational modelling and case studies that contribute towards the understanding and improvement of building fire prevention and indoor smoke control are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Building fire dynamics;
- Smoke characteristics, transport and control in buildings;
- Performance-based design of building fire;
- New technologies and methods;
- Fire modeling and simulation;
- Human evacuation.
