Research summary - validation of numerical fire models of crude oil spills / Transportation of Dangerous Goods, Scientific Research Division.: T44-3/21-2021-1E-PDF

"Transport Canada (TC) wants to know how rail tank cars perform in crude oil fires but doing fire tests is expensive and takes a lot of time. As such, TC partnered with the National Research Council Canada (NRC) to look into using computer models instead. The goal of this study was to create a proof of concept that showed it was possible to get fire data on other crude oils and larger pool fires without full-scale fire testing. The computer model simulated small fire tests done in 2015 and 2016"--Provided by publisher.
