Modeling Deformation
• Changes in composition generally cause contraction or expansion of material
• Some challenges in 3D:1. Mechanical constitutive relation
2. Advection term in conservation equations
3. Moving boundaries
• Simple solution: 1. Subgrid scale models of fluxes
2. Burn away—remove solid cells as cell density goes to zero
FEMTC 2018 3D Heat Transfer and Pyrolysis in FDS 11
Heat Flux with Local Deformation
• As material contracts (expands), distance between material points decreases (increases)
FEMTC 2018 3D Heat Transfer and Pyrolysis in FDS 12
Local Material Deformation
Two simple models:1. Isotropic:
2. Unidirectional:

Radiative Heat Transfer
• Many problems are thermally thick
• Diffusion approximation is extremely efficient in 3D

Closing remarks
• Development of an efficient 3D pyrolysis model is needed for reliable predictions of flame spread (work in progress)
• Subgrid-scale models of heat and mass fluxes were used to account for local deformation
• The resultant model has been verified and tested for several scenarios
• Next steps:• Anisotropy• Thin obstructions (coupling with 1D model?)• Porous media flow
