Decoding cable fires: from polymer pyrolysis to predictive fire propagation models for critical infrastructure

EURAXESS hosting organisation · Multiple European countries

Funding project: ANR DGA-ASTRID ‘SAFE-FIRE-CABLE’ Host institution: “Reaction and Resistance to Fire” (R2F) team, UMET Laboratory ( https://umet.univ-lille.fr/ ), Centrale Lille Institut, France ( https://centralelille.fr/en/ ) Partners: EDF and Institut de Mécanique des Fluides de Toulouse (IMFT) Context and Project Overview Electrical cables are essential to the operation of nuclear facilities, industrial sites, transport networks, data centers and defense systems. In such installations, hundreds of kilometers of cables may be installed in trays and bundles. A fire involving a cable route can spread rapidly, generate heat, smoke and toxic gases, and cause the simultaneous loss of critical power, control and communication functions. SAFE-FIRE-CABLE aims to develop a predictive, physics-ba
