FDS Wall Flows Part I: Straight Channels

July 10, 2009

Author(s)

Randall J. McDermott

We perform calculations of 2D laminar and 3D turbulent channel flow with periodic streamwise boundary conditions. From the laminar results we verify that the FDS wall boundary condition is second-order accurate. For the turbulent cases we adapt the wall

CFAST - Consolidated Model of Fire Growth and Smoke Transport (Version 6), Software and Experimental Validation Guide

June 12, 2009

Author(s)

Richard D. Peacock, Kevin B. McGrattan, Bryan W. Klein, Walter W. Jones, Paul A. Reneke

This supplement to the CFAST Technical Reference Guide provides details of the software development process for CFAST and accompanying validation for the model. It is based in part on the Standard Guide for Evaluating the Predictive Capability of

CFAST - Consolidated Model of Fire Growth and Smoke Transport (Version 6), Technical Reference Guide, APRIL 2009 REVISION

June 12, 2009

Author(s)

Walter W. Jones, Richard Peacock, Glenn P. Forney, Paul A. Reneke

CFAST is a two-zone fire model capable of predicting the environment in a multi-compartment structure subjected to a fire. It calculates the time evolving distribution of smoke and fire gases and the temperature throughout a building during a user

Comparison of Methane and Propane Diffusion Flame Extinguishment by Thermal Agents An Experimental and Detailed Kinetic Modeling Study

May 17, 2009

Author(s)

William M. Pitts, Jiann C. Yang, Rodney A. Bryant, Linda G. Blevins

A combined computational and experimental study of methane and propane flames burning in air diluted with thermal agents is described. Detailed kinetic modeling of opposed-jet diffusion flames and experimental extinguishing volume fraction measurements for

Analysis of FDS Thermal Detector Response Prediction Capability. NIST GCR 09-921

January 16, 2009

Author(s)

Morgan J. Hurley, Alex Munguia

Predictions of fire plume and ceiling jet temperature and the response of thermal detectors from NIST's Fire Dynamics Simulator(FDS)were compared to data from a series of full-scale tests conducted by Underwriters Laboratory. The tests were conducted in a

Validation of A CFD Fire Model Using Two Step Combustion Chemistry Using the NIST Reduced-Scale Ventilation-Limited Compartment Data

September 26, 2008

Author(s)

Jason E. Floyd, Kevin B. McGrattan

Recent testing by the Building and Fire Research Laboratory of the National Institute of Standards and Technology collected a large dataset of species, temperature, velocities, and heat fluxes for a wide range of fuels burning at varying degrees of

Using CFAST to Estimate the Efficiency of Filtering Particulates in a Building (NIST IR 7498)

April 30, 2008

Author(s)

Walter W. Jones, Richard D. Peacock

CFAST is a two-zone fire model used to calculate the evolving distribution of smoke, fire gases and temperature throughout compartments of a constructed facility during a fire. The modeling equations used in CFAST take the mathematical form of an initial
