Description / Abstract:
This Technical Specification provides guidance for assessing the
use of fire zone models for calculating gas temperature and
concentrations and smoke layer position due to fire within an
enclosure. It contains general guidance to be read in conjunction
with specific model documentation provided by the model developers.
It is not a basis for justifying the use of any particular
model.
It is important that users of fire zone models understand the
theoretical basis of a model and are capable of assessing the
accuracy and validity of the results.
Zone models may also include additional sub-models for
predicting related phenomena such as sprinkler, thermal or smoke
detector activation, mechanical ventilation, glass fracture or
flame spread. A detailed discussion of these related sub models is
beyond the scope of this Technical Specification.
NOTE An overview of features covered by various zone models can
be found in a survey by Olenick and Carpenter.UJ
This Technical Specification is not intended as a basis for
regulation.
