Abstract

This paper gives an overview of the Harvard Computer Fire Code. Some background on mathematical fire modeling in general is given and then some of the assumptions and approximations made in the Harvard Mark 5 model are outlined. The capabilities of the model are then discussed, as well as the two variants, Mark 5.3 and Mark 6. The validity and reliability of the model are considered, and its weakest features noted. The requirements in terms of machine size, CPU time, and data are considered, as well as the input/output for (from) the program. Finally, how the program can be modified, plus plans for its future development, are outlined.
