The Use of CFD for Modeling Pool Fires

When an analysis is performed of the thermal response of a transport flask to a pool ftre test it is usual for the analysis to concentrate upon heat transfer within the flask, with the ftre being represented by specified boundary conditions. These boundary conditions usually represent heat transfer by both radiation and convection and are normally based upon the parameters specified in the IAEA Regulations (e.g. a temperature of 800°C) (IAEA 1990).
