Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fire numerical simulation plays an important role in fire research. It takes advantage of the advances in mathematics, modeling and computing to capture the underlying physics of complex fire problems and predict fire behaviors at various scales. In addition to experiments, fire numerical simulation allows us to further understand fire and to prevent and contain it. Recently, with the development of the numerical simulation method and computing power, fire numerical simulation has faced new opportunities and challenges.
This Special Issue aims to present the recent state-of-art of fire numerical simulation, the development of fire sub-models and new physics findings based on fire numerical simulations.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Current development and application of fire numerical simulation tools;
- Newly developed fire sub-models;
- Physics findings based on fire numerical simulation;
- Case studies with fire numerical simulation to reproduce the real fire scenarios;
- Evacuation and human behavior numerical simulation in fires;
- Fire suppression numerical simulation;
- Numerical simulation regarding fire resistance of structures;
- Wildland fire-induced geological disaster numerical simulation.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Fire is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
