Pretty CFD flames are something we got used to, but they usually are a product of our design assumptions - the design fire. While they give us a lovely illusion of being "real" fires, predicting real compartment fire growth is a completely different ... more
A compartment fire is more than just “a fire in a room.” The moment flames, smoke, and heat are trapped by walls and fed through openings, the physics changes and so do the hazards we design for. We sit down with Dr. Vinny Gupta (University of Waterl... more

- Layperson here- love it!
I am just an ordinary person- I have almost no understanding of physics and firefighting. Seriously, it’s an embarrassment.
And yet! This podcast is *fascinating*!! It moves at a perfect pace, and the content is made fascinating and accessible by the host.
(Irrelevant aside: I do have a background in research, however, and I am impressed with the host giving credit and praise to the grad students he works with. Wish I had an advisor like him back in the day!)

Superb podcast with really good fire science information for the newcomer as well as the expert. I love the well-documented podcasts with many references to scientific articles and reference works. Marvellous soundtrack in episode 100. I would love to save it to my playlist on Apple Music but can’t find it. Please let me know if it is available!
