 | Fire Dynamics Simulator and Smokeview (FDS-SMV) by NIST
Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) is a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of fire-driven fluid 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.
Smokeview (SMV) is a visualization program that is used to display the output of FDS and CFAST simulations.
Please read the manuals for each program and be aware that FDS is not a typical "point and click" computer program. Rather, FDS is run from the command line, and it requires that input parameters be written into a text file. Third party software is available to assist in the preparation of the input files and execution of the program, but this software is not necessarily free. See the 3rd Party Tools page for more information.
