51. Development of a Hazard-Based Method for Evaluating the Fire Safety of Passenger Trains
Published: 6/29/1999
Authors: Richard W. Bukowski, Richard D Peacock, Paul A Reneke, Jason D Averill, S. H. Markos
Abstract: The fire safety of U.S. passenger rail trains currently is addressed through small-scale flammability and smoke emission tests and performance criteria promulgated by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). The FRA approach relies heavily on test ...

52. Evaluating Multi-Sensor Fire Detectors in the Fire Emulator/Detector Evaluator
Published: 6/29/1999
Authors: Thomas George Cleary, Michael D. Anderson, Jason D Averill, William L. Grosshandler
Abstract: NIST has developed the Fire Emulator/Detector Evaluator (FE/DE) for the purpose of testing detectors in a controlled environment. The FE/DE is a flow tunnel where fire or nuisance source characteristics can be controlled so that a detector placed in ...

54. Challenges in Modeling Scalars in Turbulence and LES: Anisotropy, dynamic models, and scale separation
Published: Date unknown
Authors: Jason D Averill, C Meneveau, H S Kang, F Charlette, O Knio, D Veynante
Abstract: This paper discusses three interrelated aspects of modeling scalar transport, mixing and combustion, in the context of large-eddy simulation (LES). In terms of passice scalar modeling, we find deom heated wake measurements that whereas the kinetic e ...
