Abstract
Determination of the material parameters is one of the
key challenges of numerical fire simulation attempting to
predict, rather than prescribe the heat release rate. In
this work, we use common fire simulation software and
genetic algorithms to estimate the kinetic and thermal
reaction parameters for PVC, black PMMA and a power
cable. Parameters are estimated by modelling
thermogravimetric and cone calorimeter experiments and
minimizing the error between the experimental and
numerical results.
