The difference between a zone model and a field model can be best described as the field model being much more calculation intensive then a zone model. A zone model basically approximates a fire condition in a fire room based on a consistent gas layer with a heat source. A field model utilizes calculations to measure things such as heat and temperature (NIST 2007). Fire modeling is very helpful in planning for safety in future fire situations.
Fire modeling provides mathematical and scientific research into the behavior and problems associated with fire. Fire modeling is a useful tool for any area of fire safety, especially fire protection engineering, fire investigation, and fire suppression.
