DAYTON AIRCRAFT CABIN FIRE MODEL. VOLUME III. COMPUTER PROGRAM USER'S GUIDE

A basic mathematical model and computer simulation program have been developed to assess the smoke and toxic gas emissions resulting from the burning of cabin interior materials of a wide-body transport aircraft in a full-scale fire. The simulation is based on laboratory test data on the cabin materials. This report is a guide for use of the computer simulation program which includes instructions for input data preparation, sample input and output, basic definitions concerning the simulation program and mathematical model, and a brief description of the program structure.
