Abstract
The purpose of this investigation is to examine the feasibility df usi ng computed tomography to evaluate the predictive capabilities of fire models. In this pursuit, we have analyzed data fi om both laboratory- and computer-generated plumes in order to determine the number of line -of-sight measurements, the detector topology, and the temporal resolu tion needed to obtain accurate reconstructions of component concentrat ions in fire atmospheres.
