abstract="Flashover is a phenomenon whereby a room fire undergoes a rapid increase in size and intensity. Such a transition is suggestive of a nonlinear process. We therefore seek to apply modern geometrical and computational techniques of nonlinear dynamics to a simplified model of fire growth to investigate flashover and other instabilities occuring in compartment fires. We present here a simplified model of fire growth in a compartment and conduct a preliminary analysis of the dynamics exhibited, in terms of both transient simulations and quasi-steady evolution manifolds, for variations in controlling parameters.<p />",
