FSEG was established in 1985 is one of the largest research groups in the world dedicated to the development and application of mathematical modelling tools suitable for the simulation of fire related phenomena. In co-operation with these organisations such as Airbus, Boeing British Aerospace, Daimler-Chrysler, European Space Agency and GEC-MARCONI, members of the group have pioneered the application of fire field models in novel environments such as air- and space-craft, the development of two-phase sprinkler/spray models for the building and aviation industry, the use of rule-based systems for evacuation simulation, the development of adaptive behaviour models for evacuation simulation and the application of parallel computing techniques to fire field modelling.
