Abstract
In this paper, the performance of FDS versions 5 and 6 and their accuracy in high performance parallel simulations of passenger car fire is evaluated. The results of measurements obtained during a full-scale fire experiment conducted in Povazsky Chlmec (Slovakia) in 2009 have been used to test the geometrical representation and material properties of two passenger cars and their passenger compartments used in the model. The tested simulation scenario includes a fire in passenger compartment of one car and its spread to an adjacent car. A series of simulations is executed on a cluster of computers using the NIST FDS system, versions 5.5.3 and 6.1.2. The differences between the simulation results obtained by both FDS versions are described and discussed.
