- Abstract
- The Compartment Fire Modeling Research group of the Center for Fire Research, National Bureau of Standards has been charged with the development of a "benchmark" compartment fire model. As part of this activity a catalog of available fire model algorithms has been compiled. The catalog contains algorithms which calculate various physical/chemical fire phenomena. The description of each algorithm includes the input(s), output(s), and calculations performed. In addition, each algorithm has a computer subroutine written for it in FORTRAN 77. The variables used as input and output throughout the catalog are cross-referenced. This enables a catalog user to determine which routines would be required to calculate a particular fire phenomena. Updates and revisions will be issued periodically.
