Abstract
The statistical narrow band (SNB), correlated-k (CK), and weighted-sum-of-gray-gases (WSGG) models have been incorporated into a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code. Their accuracy and computing times are evaluated for three pool fires scenarios. CFD_CK and CFD_SNB yield similar predictions, and the former is three times more CPU demanding than the latter. CFD_CK is unrealistic for practical fire applications. Temperature and velocity predictions with CFD_WSGG and CFD_SNB agree better in the persistent and plume regions, but significant discrepancies are found in the intermittent region. The overall predictions of the two approaches show reasonable agreement. The WSGG model should not be discarded for CFD fire simulations.
