Project aims to create a publicly available data set to be used for validation of the CFD based
fire models with an emphasis on validating the solid state pyrolysis as a one of the key
components of complex process of the solid materials burning. Laboratory and real scale fire
experiments publicly available within the fire research community are not sufficiently
instrumented and documented to be used as a validation data set for CFD fire models. Project
focuses on identifying quantities to be measured that describes both the solid state such
temperature as mass loss rate as well as the thermal feedback from surroundings in a cone
calorimeter and furniture calorimeter scale. Repeatability of this highly dynamic and
unpredictable phenomena will be addressed to provide high fidelity data.
