Building Fire Simulation

Caption

Researchers simulated more than 5,000 fires in a digital three-bedroom house, with crucial details such as the fire origin varying between each. The team's machine learning-based tool, P-Flash, correctly predicted whether a flashover (a potentially deadly phenomena) occurred 86% of the time based on simulated temperature data.
