Heat Feedback to the Fuel Surface in Pool Fires (NIST SP 971)

August 1, 2001
Author(s)
Anthony P. Hamins, S. J. Fischer, Takashi Kashiwagi
A series of measurements designed to investigate the heat feedback in pool fires burning liquid fuels are reported. Such measurements are essential for the development and validation of detailed models which predict the burning rate of liquid hydrocarbons

Transient Application, Recirculating Pool Fire, Agent Effectiveness Screen. Final Report.

June 1, 2001
Author(s)
William L. Grosshandler, Anthony P. Hamins, Jiann C. Yang, Kevin B. McGrattan, Cary Presser
A three-year research effort has been conducted as part of the Next Generation Program (NGP) to develop a laboratory screening device suitable for predicting the behavior of halon alternatives in full-scale fire suppression experiments. Most of the work

Transient Application Recirculating Pool Fire, Agent Effectiveness Screen: Final Report

April 24, 2001
Author(s)
William L. Grosshandler, Anthony P. Hamins, Jiann C. Yang, Kevin B. McGrattan, Cary Presser
A three-year research effort has been conducted as part of the Next Generation Program (NGP) to develop a laboratory screening device suitable for predicting the behavior of halon alternatives in full-scale fire suppression experiments. Most of the work

Suppression of Low Strain Rate Flames by an Agent (NISTIR 6588)

November 1, 2000
Author(s)
Anthony P. Hamins, Matthew F. Bundy, I K. Puri
The structure and suppression of low strain rate methane-air nonpremixed flames were investigated experimentally and computationally. Measurements of the critical suppression conditions were conducted using N2, CO2, and CF3Br added to the fuel or oxidizer

Thermal Radiation From Large Pool Fires (NISTIR 6546)

November 1, 2000
Author(s)
Kevin B. McGrattan, Howard R. Baum, Anthony P. Hamins
In order to protect people and combustible structures from the thermal radiation emitted by a large fire, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has established thermal radiation flux levels of 31.5 kW/m2 (10,000 Btu/h/ft2) for buildings and

Combustion Research Studies at the National Institute of Standards and Technology

January 1, 2000
Author(s)
Takashi Kashiwagi, William L. Grosshandler, Anthony P. Hamins, William M. Pitts, Cary Presser, Wing Tsang
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is a federal agency within the Technology Administration of the Department of Commerce. NIST's primary mission is to develop and apply technology, measurements, and standards to promote economic

Fire Dynamics Simulator: Technical Reference Guide (NISTIR 6467)

January 1, 2000
Author(s)
Kevin B. McGrattan, Howard R. Baum, Ronald G. Rehm, Anthony P. Hamins, Glenn P. Forney
The idea that the dynamics of a fire might be studied numerically dates back to the beginning of the computer age. Indeed, the fundamental conservation equations governing fluid dynamics, heat transfer, and combustion were first written down over a century

Reduced Gravity Combustion of Thermoplastic Spheres

January 1, 2000
Author(s)
Jiann C. Yang, Anthony P. Hamins, Michelle K. Donnelly
A series of low-gravity experiments were conducted to investigate the combustion of supported thermoplastic polymer spheres under varying ambient conditions. The three types of thermoplastics investigated were polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polypropylene
