91. Suppression of a Non-Premixed Flame Behind a Step
Published: 1/1/2000
Authors: William L. Grosshandler, R Charagundla, Anthony P Hamins, Kevin B McGrattan, Cary Presser
Abstract: Because of its many positive attributes, halon 1301 or trifluorobromomethane (CF^d3^Br), has been used as a fire extinguishing agent in many applications, including aircraft, ships, and specialized structures. Due to its high ozone depletion potenti ...

92. Reduced-Scale Experiments to Characterize the Suppression of Rack-Storage Commodity Fires (NISTIR 6439)
Series: NIST Interagency/Internal Report (NISTIR)
Report Number: 6439
Published: 11/1/1999
Authors: Anthony P Hamins, Kevin B McGrattan
Abstract: A series of reduced-scale experiments were conducted to investigate the burning and water suppression of rack-storage commodity fires. The objective of the research reported here is to support the NIST Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS), a computational f ...

94. Numerical Simulation of Sprinkler Performance
Published: 2/24/1999
Authors: Kevin B McGrattan, Glenn P Forney
Abstract: Rapidly, changing building designs, uses, materials, contents, fire protection and the general intermix of industrial/commercial and residential occupancies has created a need to understand the potential hazards and losses from fires and performance ...

95. Transient Agent, Recirculating Pool Fire (TARPF) Suppression Screen (NISTIR 6242)
Series: NIST Interagency/Internal Report (NISTIR)
Report Number: 6242
Published: 10/1/1998
Authors: William L. Grosshandler, Anthony P Hamins, Kevin B McGrattan, Cary Presser
Abstract: The amount of a gaseous agent required to extinguish fires in full-scale engine nacelle tests varies greatly with the geometry of the fixture and the manner in which the flame is stabilized. It has been observed that if the test is designed to allow ...

96. Using Bench Scale Fire Measurements in Large Scale Simulations (NISTIR 6242)
Series: NIST Interagency/Internal Report (NISTIR)
Report Number: 6242
Published: 10/1/1998
Authors: Kevin B McGrattan, Anthony P Hamins, L G. Blevins
Abstract: A program is underwat at NIST to develop a numerical field model, referred to as the Industrial Fire Simulator (IFS), to simulate large scale fire phenomena. Because the model is intended to simulate fire flows within buildings whose volumes are on t ...

98. Examination of the Applicability of Computed Tomography for the Measurement of Component Concentrations in Fire-Generated Plumes
Published: 5/1/1998
Authors: R T Baum, Kevin B McGrattan, Marc R Nyden
Abstract: The purpose of this investigation is to examine the feasibility of using computed tomography to evaluate the predictive capabilities of fire models. In this pursuit, we have analyzed data from both laboratory- and computer-generated plumes in order ...

99. Sprinklers, Vent, and Draft Curtain Interaction: Modeling and Experiment
Published: 2/25/1998
Authors: Kevin B McGrattan, Anthony P Hamins, D. D. Evans
Abstract: The second and most recent application of the NIST Industrial Fire Simulation (IFS) System is to predict the performance of sprinklers, draft curtains and roof vents in storage facilities and retail spaces. The IFS System is a series of computational ...
