![]() Apply the leak surface to a solid with boundaries in both zones.Pressure zone leakage is defined in three steps: ![]() It is assumed the flow is small and that flow into a zone will be at that zone’s temperature (no heat transport from the zone from which the leak is occurring). Pressure zone leakage uses the pressure difference between the “background” pressure of two zones to calculate the leakage flow. Pressure Zone LeakageĪs described in the FDS manual, “The pressure zone leakage approach is intended to capture the bulk leakage that occurs through walls.” A pressure zone is a sealed compartment within the computational domain. You can copy the raw contents of the file and paste directly into PyroSim. To download the FDS input file, click this link ( door_crack.fds), select the file, then click Raw to display only the file contents. For our examples, we will use the same approach as in the door_crack FDS verification problem. Leakage is discussed in Section 9.3.2 of the FDS User Guide. The leakage area can be smaller than the mesh size, so the gaps cannot be modeled directly and a different approach is required. Leakage refers to the air that escapes through small gaps (i.e at the top of a door) as a compartment is pressurized by a fire. Some users have asked about modeling leakage using PyroSim, so this post will give two examples of how this can be done. The post Leakage Modelling using Pressure Zones – Updated 2018-06 updates and replaces the contents of this post. ![]() PyroSim 2017.2 now supports pressure zone and localized leakage in the user interface.
