1 FLACS-Fire Djurre Siccama Gexcon R&D and Software VP Products

2 Introduction to FLACS-Fire GOAL: Provide FLACS users with an efficient complete toolbox for dispersion, explosion and fire modelling. Calculation times in hours/days and not weeks/months User friendly interface and quick learning curve More realistic modelling vs. emperical tools Especially suited for industrial type fires including high momentum jet fires

3 FLACS-Fire Development time-line FLACS-Fire development started Official Release FLACS-Fire External Beta testing Internal Beta testing Continuous development, optimisation, validation and testing Today

4 FLACS-Fire Capabilities Jet fires Poolfire model (fully coupled model included) 6-Flux and DTM radiation models Output: Temperature, radiation, toxic concentrations, soot, visibility, etc. Commercial Release date: September 2014

5 FLACS-Fire: Program flow chart Flow Heat Transfer FLACS RANS Model Continuity & Momentum Energy Equation Incompressible Solver Compressible Solver FLACS - FIRE Turbulence Combustion Soot Radiation Radiative properties k-epsilon model Fire Model Eddy Dissipation Concept (EDC) Formation-oxidation Model (FOX) 6-Flux Radiation Model Discrete Transfer Model (DTM) Coupled WSGGM Uncoupled WSGGM
