Fire risk assessments are critical tools used to identify hazards, determine the likelihood of their occurrence, assess potential consequences, and propose mitigation measures. Several methods exist for quantitative analysis, ranging from simple hand calculations to advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. Typically, heat release rates are prescribed in these assessments and are static. Primarily because the modelling of thermal decomposition (pyrolysis) of combustible materials is difficult. This dissertation consists of three publications that deal with the design of parameter sets that allow the simulation of pyrolysis, based on the heat feedback to a sample material. From common small-scale fire experiments, data are used to create the material models. The first publication deals with the simulation of fire propagation in cable tray installations. A proof of concept for a methodology is presented in which material parameters can be determined in an inverse modelling process (IMP). This IMP uses experimental data as the target. The second publication builds on the work of the first publication and improves it. Several adjustments needed to be made in the previous work after the IMP concluded to enable fire propagation. These adjustments are here directly implemented in the IMP. Further improvements are implemented to the process, such as higher fluid cell resolution during the parameter estimation process. The third publication moves away from the complex structure of electrical cables and focuses on a pure polymer: poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). Further improvements are conducted with even higher fluid cell resolution. Furthermore, a wider range of experimental data sets is available, which is used to improve the parameter estimation. 001050014 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-5111$$a5111 - Domain-Specific Simulation & Data Life Cycle Labs (SDLs) and Research Groups (POF4-511)$$cPOF4-511$$fPOF IV$$x0 001050014 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/1050014/files/IAS_Series_75.pdf$$yOpenAccess 001050014 909CO $$ooai:juser.fz-juelich.de:1050014$$popenaire$$popen_access$$pVDB$$pdriver$$pdnbdelivery 001050014 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)207791$$aForschungszentrum Jülich$$b0$$kFZJ 001050014 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-511$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF4-510$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF4-500$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF4$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$9G:(DE-HGF)POF4-5111$$aDE-HGF$$bKey Technologies$$lEngineering Digital Futures – Supercomputing, Data Management and Information Security for Knowledge and Action$$vEnabling Computational- & Data-Intensive Science and Engineering$$x0 001050014 9141_ $$y2025 001050014 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0510$$2StatID$$aOpenAccess 001050014 915__ $$0LIC:(DE-HGF)CCBY4$$2HGFVOC$$aCreative Commons Attribution CC BY 4.0 001050014 920__ $$lyes 001050014 9201_ $$0I:(DE-Juel1)IAS-7-20180321$$kIAS-7$$lZivile Sicherheitsforschung$$x0 001050014 980__ $$aphd 001050014 980__ $$aVDB 001050014 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED 001050014 980__ $$abook 001050014 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)IAS-7-20180321 001050014 9801_ $$aFullTexts
