Resumo(s)

This investigation is focused on the numerical modelling of experimental tests to evaluate the thermal performance of the fire fighter clothing. First a 2D numerical validation is presented to asset the thermal model and materials properties. This numerical model solves a nonlinear transient thermal analysis under low thermal radiation [1]. The numerical validation is based on the bench scale cone calorimeter experience test [2] or equivalent, exposing the fabrics to a low thermal radiation of 2, 5 and 10 [kW/m2], following the procedures of NP EN ISO 6942 [1] to determine the t12, t24 and the heat flux density transmitted to skin.
