Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) is a large-eddy simulation (LES) code for low-speed flows, with an emphasis on smoke and heat transport from fires.
Perry Nuclear Power Plant - Containment Detection
Fire Protection Engineer responsible for determining the effectiveness of an alternate means of detection. Due to harsh conditions, wiring for a detection system had degraded. Fire Dynamics Simulator was used to determine if the other detection systems in the area would provide reasonable coverage.
Enrico Fermi II NPP - HPCI Pump Room Analysis
Fire Protection Engineer responsible for demonstrating that an adequate level of protection exists with variations in sprinkler and fire alarm systems designs. Fire Dynamics Simulator was used to model the hazards in fire compartments to determine if modifications were required or to provide a performance-based justification for the existing configuration …
