Zone Models

 

A complete list of zone models can be found at www.firemodelsurvey.com(see link on “Zone” models).

An example of a zone model:

CFAST/FAST. CFAST is a zone model that predicts the effect of a specified fire on temperatures, various gas concentrations and smoke layer heights in a multi-compartment structure. FAST is a graphical user interface (GUI) for the computational model (CFAST).

CFD Models

 

A complete list of CFD models can be found at www.firemodelsurvey.com (see link on “Field” models).

Examples of CFD models:

NIST Fire Dynamics Simulator and Smokeview – Version 2.0 of the NIST Fire Dynamics Simulator and Smokeview have been officially released. FDS 2.0 predict smoke and/or air flow movement caused by fire, wind, ventilation systems etc. Smokeview visualizes the predictions generated by NIST FDS.
