- Abstract
- The aim of this report is to investigate how and if FDS simulations performed by experienced fire protection consultants varies in result, and how different Swedish fire protection companies works with quality assurance of calculations carried out by FDS. This was examined by allowing eight fire protection consultants from different companies simulate a specific scenario with FDS 5, without prior access to the results of an experiment performed under identical conditions. The simulation task was designed so that the participants received relatively well-defined information about the building, fire, initial conditions and the measurements that were to be performed. In addition, the eight participants and an additional three fire protection... (More)

The simulation task was designed so that the participants received relatively well-defined information about the building, fire, initial conditions and the measurements that were to be performed. In addition, the eight participants and an additional three fire protection consultants from other companies were asked to answer a questionnaire regarding how their company deals with quality assurance of FDS simulations. The results of the study indicated variation among the participants in all requested parameters, and the largest were that of mass loss rate and heat release rate which also led to differences in temperature. The methodology and choice of input data also differed to some extent between the participants. The questionnaire results found that quality assurance of FDS simulations does occur in Swedish consulting companies, but to what extent often varies depending on purpose and complexity. (Less)
