Simple Design Fire

This usage example shows how to compute a simple t-squared design fire using the firescypy.handcalculation.design_fires.simple_design_fire() function.

from firescypy.handcalculation.design_fires import simple_design_fire

# Define design fire parameters
Q_max = 1000       # Maximum HRR [kW]
Q_total = 300000   # Total energy [kJ]
decay_model = "exponential"

# Optional keyword arguments
kwargs = {
    "alpha": "fast",         # Growth rate
    "decay_constant": 0.03,  # Decay rate [1/s]
    "t_end": 300,            # Duration [s]
    "num_points": 100        # Resolution
}

# Compute time and HRR arrays
t, Q = simple_design_fire(Q_max, Q_total, decay_model, **kwargs)
