Large Outdoor Fire Dynamics

Large Outdoor Fire Dynamics

Large Outdoor Fire Dynamics provides the essential knowledge for the hazard evaluation of large outdoor fires including wildland WUI (wildland-urban interface) and urban fires. The spread of outdoor fires can be viewed as a successive occurrence of physical and chemical processes – solid fuel combustion heat transfer to surrounding combustibles and ignition of heated combustibles – which are explained herein. Engineering equations frequently used in practical hazard analyses are derived and then integrated to implement a computational code predicting fire spread among discretely distributed combustibles. This code facilitates learning the procedure of hazard evaluation for large outdoor fires. Chapters cover underlying assumptions for analyzing fire spread behavior in large outdoor fires namely wind conditions near the ground surface and fundamentals of heat transfer; the physical mechanism of fire spread in and between combustibles specifically focusing on fire plumes (both reacting and non-reacting) and firebrand dispersal; and the spatial modeling of 3D objects and developing the computational framework for predicting fire spread. The book is ideal for engineers researchers and graduate students in fire safety as well as mechanical engineering civil engineering disaster management safety engineering and planning. Companion source codes are available online.

Modern Optimization Methods for Decision Making Under Risk and Uncertainty

Modern Optimization Methods for Decision Making Under Risk and Uncertainty

The book comprises original articles on topical issues of risk theory rational decision making statistical decisions and control of stochastic systems. The articles are the outcome of a series international projects involving the leading scholars in the field of modern stochastic optimization and decision making. The structure of stochastic optimization solvers is described. The solvers in general implement stochastic quasi-gradient methods for optimization and identification of complex nonlinear models. These models constitute an important methodology for finding optimal decisions under risk and uncertainty. While a large part of current approaches towards optimization under uncertainty stems from linear programming (LP) and often results in large LPs of special structure stochastic quasi-gradient methods confront nonlinearities directly without need of linearization. This makes them an appropriate tool for solving complex nonlinear problems concurrent optimization and simulation models and equilibrium situations of different types for instance Nash or Stackelberg equilibrium situations. The solver finds the equilibrium solution when the optimization model describes the system with several actors. The solver is parallelizable performing several simulation threads in parallel. It is capable of solving stochastic optimization problems finding stochastic Nash equilibria and of composite stochastic bilevel problems where each level may require the solution of stochastic optimization problem or finding Nash equilibrium. Several complex examples with applications to water resources management energy markets pricing of services on social networks are provided. In the case of power system regulator makes decision on the final expansion plan considering the strategic behavior of regulated companies and coordinating the interests of different economic entities. Such a plan can be an equilibrium − a planned decision where a company cannot increase its expected gain unilaterally. | Modern Optimization Methods for Decision Making Under Risk and Uncertainty
