Introduction

FDS, developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) of the U.S. Department of Commerce and the VTT Technical Research Center of Finland, is a large eddy simulation software for low-speed flows. It focuses on the smoke and heat transfer caused by fires and aims to solve the actual fire problems in fire engineering. It also provides tools for studying basic dynamics and combustion in a fire.
