\subsubsection{Modeling Notes}

In the simulations of cone calorimeter simulations experiments, the computational domain size is 30~cm by 30~cm by 30~cm. In the simulations of flaming experiments the grid resolution was 1~cm, but for inert and smoldering experiments, the resolution was 10~cm, as the gaseous phase was not directly modelled. In the simulations of room corner tests, the computational domain continued for 1.5~m outside after the 20~cm thick front wall. In the corner where the burner was located, the grid resolution was 2~cm over a volume that extends for 0.5~m from the corner at x-, and y directions, and spans the entire height from floor to the ceiling. Elsewhere, a resolution of 10~cm was used.

Neither~\cite{Sundstrom:1998} nor~\cite{Hietaniemi:2001} reported the initial moisture content of the timbers, so a moisture mass fraction of 0.09 similar to the cone calorimeter specimens in~\cite{Rinta-Paavola:2023}, was assumed in the beginning of room corner tests. This is a relevant moisture content for timber in normal room air.
