Report of Experimental Results for the International Fire Model Benchmarking and Validation Exercise #3.

December 1, 2005
Author(s)
Anthony P. Hamins, Alexander Maranghides, Erik L. Johnsson, Michelle K. Donnelly, Jiann C. Yang, George W. Mulholland, Robert Anleitner
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) are participating in an International Collaborative Fire Model Project (ICFMP) to assess and validate fire computer codes for nuclear power plant

Technique for Extrapolating Absorption Coefficient Measurements to High Temperatures

December 1, 2005

Kaoru Wakatsuki, Stephen P. Fuss, Anthony Hamins, Marc R. Nyden
An extrapolation technique that provides semi-quantitative estimates for the infrared absorption coefficients of gaseous fuels at temperatures beyond those for which measurements are generally practical (>700 K) is presented. The new method is based on a

Characterization of Candle Flames

November 1, 2005
Author(s)
Anthony P. Hamins, Matthew F. Bundy, Scott E. Dillon
Common household open flame and radiant ignition sources are the actual or suspected cause for many fires. The purpose of this research is to identify the burning behavior and properties of common candles in order to provide additional tools for use by

Characterization of Candles Flames as Ignition Sources

November 1, 2005
Author(s)
Scott E. Dillon, Anthony Hamins, Matthew Bundy
Common household open flame and radiant ignition sources are the actual or suspected cause for many fires. Because of their popular use, fire investigators have identified candles as one of the most important of these ignition sources. In spite of this

Energy Balance in a Large Compartment Fire. (POSTER ABSTRACTS)

September 18, 2005
Author(s)
Anthony P. Hamins, Erik L. Johnsson, Michelle K. Donnelly
The experiments described here were part of an international collaborative project to assess and validate fire computer codes for nuclear power plant applications. Understanding the distribution of energy released by a fire is important for testing the

Experiments and Modeling of Unprotected Structural Steel Elements Exposed to a Fire

September 18, 2005
Author(s)
Anthony P. Hamins, Kevin B. McGrattan, Kuldeep R. Prasad, Alexander Maranghides, Therese P. McAllister
A large-scale fire experiment was conducted to assess the accuracy of a combination of gas and solid-phase models designed to predict the temperatures of structural steel elements exposed to a fire. The experiment involved a 2 MW heptane spray fire in a
