[17], a review is made of work on scale modeling in fire is presented from the experience of the author. Primarily scale modeling in air is discussed but there is a brief discussion of scale model with salt and fresh water for smoke movement. A complete set of dimensionless groups is presented for fire, then it is illustrated how selections are made for the partial scaling of specific fire scenarios. Studies have been motivated by basic research interests as well as for fire investigation. The dynamics floorcovering fire spread in a corridor is studied to reveal many features of fire behavior and validation is made with full- scale. Smoke movement in a department store atrium is studied to reveal its design flaws. The challenge to develop a water mist system to pass a fire test designed to insure safety on transport ferries was systematically done using a scale model, and confirmed at full-scale. Scaling was examined for a fire development in a furnished bedroom pushi...

The results are applied to modeling the fire on 9/11 in WTC 1. Specific information is used from the NIST investigation. It is demonstrated that simple heat transfer modeling can predict the truss steel rod temperatures for the E119 tests of WTC done by NIST. The CIB temperature correlation and steel truss modeling are used to predict burning conditions for the WTC 1 96th floor fire and compared to the NIST results. Here a consideration of fuel loads from 20 to 40 kg/m2 was considered compared to just 20 used by NIST. The results suggest that the fully insulated truss bar temperatures would achieve higher values for higher fuel loads. A critical steel truss temperature of 650°C could support failure of the trusses as a theory for the collapse of the towers.
