Abstract
Subject headings
Close
- Nine participants, representing eight different Swedish fire consultancy firms participated in a Round Robin study where two different fire scenarios were simulated with the Fire Dynamics Simulator. The participants were given clear instructions on the building layout and heat release rate for the two scenarios. Still, the results demonstrate a significant variation in time to sprinkler system activation and available safe escape time, between the participants. It is important to emphasize that some degree of variation is unavoidable, as engineers can model things differently without the modelling solution necessarily being incorrect. Some of the variation seen in this study is however related to modelling choices that are questionable and consequently problematic for the reliability of the fire safety design.
