Heat Release Analysis of Fires

Dear Colleagues,

The knowledge of heat release from fires is the basis for predicting their posed hazards. Although various efforts have been made by pioneering studies, there are still challenges to predicting heat release in complex fire scenarios, achieving a real-time prediction of heat release, etc. In recent years, the development of new detection technology and computing technology has provided a powerful tool for solving the above problems. This Special Issue wishes to provide insights into the frontiers of the latest advances in the heat release prediction of fire. Both original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

• machine learning-based methods for heat release prediction;
• fire behavior prediction of windland fire, tunnel fire, etc.;
• the burning rate and mechanisms of complex fire scenarios;
• case studies of real fire scenarios with heat release analysis;
• fire modeling and computer codes.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
