Abstract
Offers guidance on CFD models using the Reynolds-averaged Naiver-Stokes methodology and on how to avoid some of the common pitfalls. No specific guidance is offered on large eddy simulation models, but information here will also apply to them. Addresses direct numerical simulation methodology, fire specific versus commercial software, issues and concerns when ensuring correct use of computer models, and the Computer Model Performance Assessment Scheme.
