Hi All,

We just published a new version of fireFoam, fireDyMFoam, that uses AMR in the gas phase -- where solution is most expensive -- to decrease computational cost for simulations of fire spread and suppression. The solver also incorporates load balancing. In the corresponding paper, linked below, we demonstrate cost reduction for a few spread problems before applying it inside an exemplary optimization loop using Dakota. All code and test cases is publicly available in my git repository.
