Victoria University Fire Research Group (VUFRG)
Our projects include detailed studies of fundamental combustion processes, the application of fire safety engineering in practice, and providing tailored solutions to the tunnelling sector.
Experimental research is largely conducted in the VU NATA Structural Fire Testing Facility while numerical modelling work is carried out on a variety of machines from desktop workstations through to high performance parallel computing facilities.
The research conducted is impact-focused, which is in strong alignment with solving industry problems and making real-world impact.
About
The Victoria University Fire Research Group (VUFRG) has a team of over fifteen researchers working on a variety of research projects from detailed studies of fundamental combustion processes through to the application of fire safety engineering in practice, including the effect in tunnels.
