Fluent : Fire modelling

January 9, 2006, 01:54

Hi everyone

I want to know if fluent is suitable for fire modelling. The project which I am suppose to work on is about fire in an engine room of a ship. The aim of the study is to predict the time it takes for the fire to spread or to find the time it takes for the temperature of the room to reach certain level.

Thanks and regards,

Manoj

I don't know whether fluent can do it. While why don't you use FDS to do it?

Can you let me know more about FDS?

It is a software developed by NIST. You can go to nist.org to download it and find more information about it. In my department (department of fire protection in engineering in UMCP), most people use FDS to model the fire in the compartment.

sorry. The link should be www.nist.gov (http://fire.nist.gov/fds/), not nist.org.
