Live Sessions: Oct. 24 - Dec. 5, Mondays & Wednesdays, 6 PM - 8 PM EDT (+1 day Tuesdays and Thursdays, 8 AM - 10 AM AEST Sydney, Australia)
Course Description
This
virtual seminar is derived from the SFPE 4-day Advanced FDS and
Smokeview program. Attendees will be led through advanced techniques in
using the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) modeling, PyroSim and Smokeview
visualization software. The course is intended for current users of FDS
who are comfortable creating simple FDS input files from scratch without
assistance. The course consists of many short modules covering specific
topics. Each module includes a lecture section and a workshop section
in which the student works example problems on a personal laptop
computer.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion the participant should understand:
• HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning) networks
• Tracking gas species through the domain
• Implementing pre and post flashover fires
• Pyrolysis modeling and flame spread
• Advanced topics in combustion
• Creating and removing obstructions
• Smoke detectors and sprinklers
• Grid transformations
• Advanced Smokeview techniques: custom iso-surfaces, texture mapping, render files, and cadview.
• Basics of the Graphical User Interface program, PyroSim
Course Delivery
All of live sessions are recorded and provided to the attendees in the course. If you are unable to watch the live session you will be able to go back and watch the recorded sessions up to 1 month after last session. Once you complete all of the course content, survey, and quiz, you will be provided your PDH certificate.
Instructor:
Bryan Klein
Prerequisite
Each student should have an understanding of fire dynamics, heat transfer, and fluid dynamics theory to gather the greatest understanding possible from the course. Each student should be able to develop FDS input files, develop design fire scenarios, and review FDS results using Smokeview without assistance.
Professional Development Hours
A certificate of 22 PDH will be offered. Upon completion of a post-test, attendees will be awarded a certificate of attendance.
Materials:
PyroSim download link and activation key will be provided to registrants for the duration of their training.
