Understanding the factors affecting flashover of a fire in modern buildings
Chitty, Richard
Understanding the factors affecting flashover of a fire in modern buildings - Watford BRE 2017 - 12p. ill. 30cm. - BRE Information Paper (2/17) .
Provides an outline of the process of flashover and the factors that influence its occurrence and development. Theoretical and experimental investigations involving flashover have been ongoing since the 1950s, initially using small enclosures and scale models to identify the basic mechanisms in the context of domestic buildings, cellular offices and similar sized enclosures using wall linings and building contents typical of the day. While this work is still relevant today for similar enclosures, different mechanisms may be involved, or become dominant, especially in very large and/or highly insulated spaces encountered in modern buildings.
