FDS - Fire Dynamics Simulator
|
FDS is a computer program for modeling fire and smoke flow. The software solves numerically a form of the Navier-Stokes equations appropriate for low-speed, thermally-driven flow with an emphasis on smoke and heat transport from fires.

What is a CPU-hr.?
A CPU-hr. is the aggregate CPU time spent across all machines, rounded up to the nearest hour (e.g., a task running on 1,000 CPUs for one minute = 1,000 CPU minutes or approximately 17 CPU hours, costing you only $17).

Description |
The NIST Fire Dynamics Simulator predicts smoke and/or air flow movement caused by fire, wind, ventilation systems, etc. FDS is a computational fluid dynamics model of fire-driven fluid flow. The Fire Dynamics Simulator has been used for many types of problems like sprinkler activation in warehouse fires, tenability in residential fires, and smoke concentration in outdoor pool fires.
