| Abstract | Trustful description and prediction of a fire scenario has a major importance in safety engineering and risk analysis. Among the available CFD software for fire simulation, Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) has been receiving great attention in the safety community and it has been applied in a broad range of applications. The present study evaluates how FDS correlates with experimental flame heights and temperature profiles around a small scale pool fire, with three liquid fuels largely used in industry: commercial hexane, hydrous ethanol and type C gasoline. The evaluation explores the tools available on FDS such as the software substance library, the turbulence models, the Liquid Pyrolysis Model and the CO and Soot yields, which are tested and discussed. The results demonstrate that the gasoline description based on FDS substance library yields poor agreement with the temperature profiles. For commercial hexane and hydrous ethanol simulations, even when quantitative agreement with experimental data is not good, the trends are well reproduced in the simulations. |
