Seminar Videos
This is our video page including seminars, talks and sharings recorded from conference symposiums, workshops, engineering society and community events.
Seminar by Dr Henry Liu
Group member Dr Hengrui Liu (Henry) has delivered a seminar entitled "Fire Engineering with Computational Fluid Dynamics" in the April 2024 Education Night. A series of fire investigation studies in collaboration with Fire & Rescue New South Wales (FRNSW) have been presented including the Quakers Hills 2011 fire.
SFPE UQ talk 2023 by ACY Yuen
Invited seminar by the SFPE UQ Student Chapter hosted on 3/10/2023 (Tues). This talk discusses the development of atomistic understanding using molecular dynamics (MD) techniques to deliver fundamental insights into key phenomena (i.e. charring, dehydration, radical scavenging, etc).
AOFSM5 Keynote 2023 by ACY Yuen
Invited keynote speech at the 5th Asia-Oceania Symposium on Fire Safety Materials Science and Engineering (AOFSM'5) International Conference Symposium (Aug 26-29) hosted at the University of New South Wales, Sydney, NSW, Australia.
SFPE Webinar 2023 by ACY Yuen
Dr Anthony Chun Yin Yuen from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University gave a online seminar on March 02 titled "Advanced Computational Material Synthesis Approach for Fire Resilience Building Materials".
AOSFSM 2021 Talk by ACY Yuen
12th Asia-Oceania Symposium on Fire Science and Technology, 7-9 Dec 2021 hosted in Brisbane, Australia (online conference)
Recipients of the AOSFST 2021 Best Presentation Award - Dr Anthony Chun Yin Yuen, UNSW (runner-up)
AOFSM 2019 Presentation ACY Yuen
A practical and robust numerical fire field model was developed to simulate the surface regression and charring formation of composite polymer materials (i.e. Chitosan/Graphene Oxide Flexible Polyurethane). This model includes the interaction of heat, fluid and solid degradation due to the propagation of fire.
EASEC16 2019 Presentation by ACY Yuen
Demonstration of the Molecular Dynamics simulation approach in characterizing toxicity and char formation. This talk summarises our first series of work on atomistic polymer degradation studies.
7 News Segment on Our Fire Coating
We have developed a lightweight coating with nanosheet technologies for firefighting gears. The developed has been reported by 7 News Australia as a segment.

Fire CFD: Turbulent Combustion
To model non-premixed diffusion flames (i.e. free-standing camp fire; fruniture fire, bushfire, etc), it is typical to couple the combustion models with turbulent effects, this video demonstrates the concept of turbulent combustion
Fire CFD: Pyrolysis and Soot Modelling
Most fire involves the burning of solid fuels, it is essential to utilise pyrolysis modelling techniques to describe the solid decomposition process. Meanwhile, aptly predicting the elevating gas volatiles will enable better prediction of soot partculates.
CFD: Boundary Conditions, Validation
Let's talk about Boundary Conditions in CFD from the basic priciples. We all know most engineering CFD problems involves inlet, opening/outlet and walls, but what do they do physically and numerically. Also, let discuss how to perform validation/verification.
CFD Tut: 3D Air-duct Case Study
Now, let's start with working on a simple clasic CFD example in ANSYS CFX/FLUENT. This case study will demonstrate the overall process from geometry, meshing, case setup, iteration and results plotting. We can also compare the results and software options.
CFD Tut: Flow Over Cylinder
When it comes to classic CFD topics, characterising turbulent structures is one of the most famous problem to solve. In this case study, we are going to visualise turbulent vortex formation via studying the flow over a cylinder, looking at the tail "vortex street".
