Smoke and Fire modelling solvers

Bdew8556 · June 12, 2019, 01:11

Hey guys,

I'm wondering what the best solvers to use for smoke and fire modelling are?

I'm thinking it's probably DPMFoam or MPPICFoam????

Dear Bdew,

why not fireFoam?

It is included in the standard distribution and it is an effort of several researchers with the involvement of a leading private company in the industry insurance:

PS: I have no involvement or affiliation with this private company but I know their excellent research group.
