algorithm (known as the SDAA) that describes the response time of a smoke detector into a
large eddy simulation (LES) fire model [Roby RJ, Olenick SM, Zhang W, Carpenter DJ,
Klassen MS, Torero JL. Smoke detector activation algorithm version 1 technical reference
guide. NISTIR Report; 2006, in press]. Although the SDAA could be used with any CFD
smoke movement model, the results here address specifically its application to the fire …
