Fire dynamics
Fire dynamics is the study of how fire behaves in different environments. It involves understanding how fire starts, spreads, and goes out, influenced by factors like fuel (materials that burn), oxygen (needed for combustion), and heat (energy that initiates and sustains fire). Fire dynamics examines how these elements interact in various settings, such as buildings or forests, and looks at conditions like temperature, airflow, and humidity. This knowledge is essential for firefighting, building safety, and preventing wildfires by predicting fire behavior and developing effective strategies to control or extinguish fires.
