FDS (Fire Dynamics Simulator) is a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model designed to simulate fire-driven fluid flows. FDS numerically solves the Navier-Stokes equations to model low-speed, thermally-driven flows with a focus on smoke and heat transport from fires. It is commonly used in simulations for designing smoke management systems, evaluating sprinkler and detector activation, and fire reconstructions.
Inductiva stays up to date with the latest versions of FDS. Below is a list of the supported versions, along with their respective release dates:
To use a specific FDS version, simply specify it when initializing the simulator:
fds = inductiva.simulators.FDS( \
version="6.10.1")
If you need to use a version not listed here, please feel free to Contact Us. We’ll be happy to accommodate your request!
Each version of FDS in the Inductiva API has its own publicly available container image, so you can also use it to run simulations. These images are hosted in our Docker Hub repository, Kutu, and you can find the Dockerfile details for each version here.
