ASCOS |
ASCOS (Analysis of Smoke
Control Systems) is a program for steady air flow analysis
of smoke control systems. This program can analyze any
smoke control system that produces pressure differences
with the intent of limiting smoke movement in building
fire situations. The program is also capable of modeling
the stack effect created in taller buildings during
extreme temperature conditions. The program input consists
of the outside and building temperatures, a description
of the building flow network and the flows produced
by the ventilation or smoke control system. The output
consists of the steady state pressures and flows throughout
the building. ASCOS was written in FORTRAN by J.H. Klote.
Another newer program, CONTAM,
may be more appropriate to some applications than ASCOS.
