Abstract: This mini-symposium aims to highlight the use of both simple and advanced analysis methods in the numerical simulation of the behaviour of materials, structures, and environments exposed to fire. Submissions that address pertinent topics related to fire modelling are welcome, including but not limited to:
1) Numerical modelling of structures at high temperatures;
2) Research studies on the relationship between experimental results, (codified) calculation methods and FE simulations;
3) Simulation of heat transfer between the fire and structures;
4) Implementation and application of fire CFD models;
5) Modelling of evolution and spread of fire and smoke;
6) Simulation of evacuation and analysis of dynamics/circulation of pedestrians in fire conditions;
7) Wildland fire behaviour modelling and spread;
8) Wildland fire susceptibility, hazard, vulnerability and risk modelling.
