Radiative heat transfer in fire safety science

In fire safety science literature thermal radiation is commonly acknowledged as the dominant mode of heat transfer for medium or large scale fires, which determines the growth and spread of a number of fires. This paper is an attempt to overview the contribution of radiative heat transfer research to fire safety science over the last decade, and to highlight the needs for further research.
