This volume thoroughly covers scale modeling and serves as the definitive source of information on scale modeling as a powerful simplifying and clarifying tool used by scientists and engineers across many disciplines. The bookelucidates techniques used when it would be too expensive, or too difficult, to test a system of interest in the field. Topics addressed in the current edition include scale modeling to study weather systems, diffusion of pollution in air or water, chemical process in 3-D turbulent flow, multiphase combustion, flame propagation, biological systems, behavior of materials at nano- and micro-scales, and many more. This is an ideal book for students, both graduate and undergraduate, as well as engineers and scientists interested in the latest developments in scale modeling.

Thisbook focuses on topics in the entire spectrum of fire safety science, targetingresearch in fires, explosions, combustion science, heat transfer, fluiddynamics, risk analysis, structural engineering, and other subjects. The bookcontributes to a gain in advanced scientific knowledge and presents or advancesnew ideas in all topics in fire safety science. 

Two decades ago, the 1stAsia-Oceania Symposium on Fire Science and Technology was held in Hefei, China.Since then, the Asia-Oceania Symposia have grown in size and quality. Thisbook, reflecting that growth, helps readers to understand fire safetytechnology, design, and methodology in diverse areas including historicalbuildings, photovoltaic panels, batteries, and electric vehicles.
