The natural convection and combined heat transfer induced by fire in a rectangular enclosure is numerically studied. The model for this numerical analysis is partially opened right wall. The solution procedure includes the standard k-ε model for turbulnt flow and the discrete ordinates method (DOM) is used for the calculation of radiauve heat transfer equation. In numerical study, SIMPLE algorithm is applied for fluid flow analysis, and the investigations of combustor gas induced by fire is performed by FAST model of HAZARDI program. In this study, numerical simulation on the combined naturnal convection and radiation is car ried out in a partial enclosure fifed with absorbed emitted gray media, but is not considered scattering problem. The streamlines, isothermal lines, average radiation intensity and kinetic energy are compared the results of pure convection with those of the combined convection-radiation, the combined heat transfer. Comparing the results of pure convection with those of the combined convection-radiation, the combined heat transfer analysis shows the stronger circulation than those of the pure convection. Three different location of heat source are considered to observe the effect of heat source location on the heat transfer phenomena. As the results, the circulation and the heat transfer in the left region from heating block are mich more influenced than those in the right region. It is also founded that the radiation effect cannot be neglected in analyzing the building in fire. And as the results of combustion gas analysis from FAST model, it is found that O_2 concentration is decreased according to time. While CO and CO_2 concentration are rapidly increased in the beginning(about 100sec), but slowly decreased from that time on.
