    Papers are invited as part of a special issue of Fire Technology devoted to validation studies of modelling of any fire phenomena. Paper submission deadline: 15th Aug, 2014 Computational modelling is among the fastest developing techniques in fire safety engineering. It was developed as a research topic in the late 1970s. After the surge of computational resources, it reached its first applications to engineering in the 1980s and now is widely and most frequently used in all aspects of fire safety. Driven by the needs of engineering projects and forensic investigations, discussions continue about the expected accuracy and reliability of the process. Validation remains an essential activity for the continuous improvement of computational fire modelling skills. By validation, we refer to the determination of the expected level of accuracy and the range of applicability of a given fire model by means of comparison to experiments (or higher hierarchy models). Papers are invited as part of a special issue of Fire Technology devoted to validation studies of modelling of any fire phenomena (eg, pyrolysis, flames, compartment fires, wildfires, structural response, toxicity). Of interest are topics that contribute towards the understanding of its strengths and weaknesses, and include: • Validation techniques • High-fidelity modelling • Benchmark experiments • Multi-model comparison • A priori vs. a posteriori • Round robin studies

    Fire Technology

    FT is the interdisciplinary journal by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and Springer, spanning the whole range of fire safety science and engineering. It is the oldest fire journal, publishing uninterruptedly since 1965. The aims are to provide and advocate for research and education in fire safety engineering, and reduce the worldwide burden of fire hazards.

    Paper submission deadline: 15th Aug, 2014

    Paper Submission
    Authors are encouraged to submit highquality, original work that has neither appeared in, nor is under consideration by, other journals. All open submissions will be peer reviewed subject to the standards of the journal. Manuscripts based on previously published conference papers must be extended substantially. The journal accepts three types of manuscripts (full papers, case studies and short communications). Letters to the Editor are also considered. Manuscripts should be submitted to: http://fire.edmgr.com. Please choose article type SI: Validation of Fire Modelling when submitting.
