This thesis falls in the field of fire sciences and finds its applications in fire safety engineering and in fire investigation. In these two fields of application, using numerical simulation is more and more a common task. To carry out these simulations, the prescription of the source term of the fire (i.e. what burned) is a crucial element. Here, we propose a method which allows a source term(temporal evolution of the heat release rate and spatial extension) to be characterized from indirect physicalmeasurements that are simple to perform, such as for example temperaturemeasurements at given points in the nearby vicinity of the fire. This method involves algorithms commonly used in optimization problems and is based on the use of a CFD co...
