Description

Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) serves as a free and open-source platform for the modeling and visualization of flows influenced by fire. This computational fluid dynamics code effectively solves a variant of the Navier–Stokes equations tailored for low-speed, thermally-driven airflow, focusing particularly on the transport of smoke and heat resulting from fires. Employing large-eddy simulation, it captures the intricacies of fire-plume dynamics and can be utilized in diverse scenarios, such as those involving wind, sprinklers, ventilation systems, and various materials that affect fire behavior. Users create scenarios by utilizing text-based input files, execute the calculations within FDS, and subsequently evaluate the output data. The simulator presents results from both FDS and CFAST simulations through advanced OpenGL-based 3D graphics, incorporating scientific visualization techniques that include animated representations of smoke and tracer particles, two- and three-dimensional shaded contours, iso-surfaces, temperature distributions, and flow vectors that display both direction and intensity. In addition to these features, FDS is continually updated to enhance user experience and functionality, making it a vital tool for researchers and safety professionals alike.
