NIST publicly released its fire model, Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS), plus the companion visualization program, Smokeview.
The model has previously been called LES3D (Large Eddy Simulation) and IFS (Industrial Fire Simulator). The new name was chosen to distinguish the released version from internal research versions. An article in The New York Times Science section (March 7, 2000) highlighted the capabilities and past applications of the model. The software and references can be downloaded from http://fire.nist.gov.
