- 2018

Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This report is a summary of the Tisova fire test, conducted in the Czech Republicin January 2015. It is the first of two reports into these test, and describes thebuilding, the experimental setup and discusses the results obtained on the day ofthe test. The results are discussed with a specific focus on the travelling nature ofthe fire in the building, since one of the objectives of the test was to provide anexperimental data set for validation of traveling fire models. To this end theproject was partially successful, since as is discussed a number of factorscontributed to slow fire spread and the need to alter the conditions of the testwhile it was ongoing by adding a mixture of diesel and gasoline to part of the fuelbed. This was needed in order to ensure that the test fulfilled the second of itsmain objectives – to provide a dataset of the response of a real structure exposedto a structurally challenging fire for the purposes of carrying out a round robinexercise of the response. This round robin will be reported in the second of thisreport series.Key conclusions from the test were that while we observed a travelling fire, thefire dynamics which lead to this and which contribute to the evolution of such afire need to be better understood.
