Consolidated Compartment Fire Model (CCFM) Computer Code Application CCFM. Vents - Part 4: User Reference Guide

摘要

A project was carried out at The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to study the feasibility of developing a new-generation, multi-room, compartment fire model computer code, called the Consolidated Compartment Fire Model (CCFM) computer code. The idea was that such a code would consolidate past progress in zone-type compartment fire modeling, and allow readily for integration of future advances with the greatest possible flexibility. The project led to the development of a prototype multi-room CCFM product called CCFM.VENTS. The report is Part IV of a four-part report which documents the above effort. The main objective of the Part IV document is to document the use of CCFM.VENTS. Its capabilities and limitations are described. A simple two room tutorial is presented to get the user quickly acquainted with the input requirements of CCFM.VENTS. Each CCFM.VENTS command is described. Finally, a program for plotting CCFM.VENTS data is presented. The program runs on an IBM-PC or compatibles with a VGA graphics monitor.
