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

Fire-Front Propagation Using the Level Set Method

April 1, 2009
Author(s)
Ronald G. Rehm, Randall J. McDermott
Propagation of an outdoor fire front in wildland or in a combination of wildland and structural fuels (the so-called wildland-urban interface or WUI fire), can be modeled as an initial-value problem using either a Lagrangian or an Eulerian description. The
