A numerical simulation of a wood fire in a natural gallery is compared with experimental data. Temperatures, velocities, gases and particles concentrations as well as soot deposits are the measured quantities of the experiment. We expose in this article the comparison with a simulation performed by the open-source solver FireFOAM. In order to improve the accuracy of the modeling, the initial numerical tool has been modified. A boundary condition for temperature based on energy conservation has been added to better estimate thermal losses at the walls. A hypothesis regarding vertical velocity in a confined geometry containing a localized fire is also made. By assuming that the velocity is exclusively horizontal, the error between simulation and experiment is reduced. With the aim of comparing the temperature measurements with the simulation accurately, the thermocouple model commonly used in FireFOAM has been changed. The limitations of the previous models are also discussed. Then, two combustion side issues are presented. First, the model of Beresnev-Chernyak computes soot deposit on walls. Second, the fractional effective doses (FED) for toxicity, radiation and heat hazards have been implemented to evaluate the safety of the environment during the fire.< Réduire
