2. Investigation on Enhancing Fire Threat Perception in Virtual Reality through Subject-Expectancy Effect
University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för BrandteknikAbstract : This thesis examines the use of subject-expectancy effect on enhancing fire threat perception in virtual reality. The study involves a virtual fire scenario design and 33 participants who experience virtual fires of three different scales in the scenario using a head-mounted display as visual and auditory perception and adopting physical movement in real world as their way of locomotion.

5. A Comparison Between FDS and the Multi-Zone Fire Model Regarding Gas Temperature and Visibility in Enclosure Fires
University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för BrandteknikAbstract : When designing large buildings with complex geometry there is often a need for performance-based design and the use of computer models. CFD models like FDS that are available and validated for this purpose are typically time consuming and require large amounts of computing power. READ MORE
