Using Bench Scale Fire Measurements in Large Scale Simulations (NISTIR 6242)

October 1, 1998
Author(s)
Kevin B. McGrattan, Anthony P. Hamins, L G. Blevins
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 the

Sprinkler, Smoke and Heat Vent, Draft Curtain Interaction: Large Scale Experiments and Model Development. International Fire Sprinkler-Smoke and Heat Vent-Draft Curtain Fire Test Project (NISTIR 6196-1)

September 1, 1998
Author(s)
Kevin B. McGrattan, Anthony P. Hamins, D W. Stroup
The International Sprinkler, Smoke and Heat Vent, Draft Curtain Fire Test Project organized by the National Fire Protection Research Coundation (NFPRF) has brought together a group of industrial sponsors to study the interaction of sprinklers with roof

Sprinklers, Vent, and Draft Curtain Interaction: Modeling and Experiment

February 25, 1998
Author(s)
Kevin B. McGrattan, Anthony P. Hamins, D. D. Evans
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 fluid

Application of a Large Eddy Simulation Model to Study Room Airflow.

January 1, 1998
Author(s)
Steven J. Emmerich, Kevin B. McGrattan
A three-dimensional, large eddy simulation (LES) model developed for studying the transport of smoke and hot gases during afire in an enclosure is described. The model uses finite digerence techniques to solve the Navier-Stokes equations with an approach

Suppression of Engine Nacelle Fires (NIST SP 890)

November 1, 1995
Author(s)
Anthony P. Hamins, Thomas G. Cleary, P. Borthwick, N Gorchkov, Kevin B. McGrattan, Glenn P. Forney, William L. Grosshandler, Cary Presser, L Melton
A series of experimental measurements were conducted and simple models were developed in an effort to provide an improved understanding of the influence of various parameters on the processes controlling flame stability in engine nacelle applications. The

Computing the Effect of Sprinkler Sprays on Fire Induced Gas Flow

September 10, 1995
Author(s)
Glenn P. Forney, Kevin B. McGrattan
Over the last twenty years there has been much debate concerning the interaction of sprinklers and draft curtains in large storage facilities. At issue is whether or not the two fire protection systems are mutually beneficial. It has been suggested that in

Smoke Plume Trajectory From In Situ Burning of Crude Oil in Alaska (NISTIR 5273)

October 1, 1993
Author(s)
Kevin B. McGrattan, Anthony D. Putorti Jr., W H. Twilley, D D. Evans
Experimentation, analysis, and modeling have been performed to predict the downwind dispersion of smoke resulting from in situ burning of oil spills. North Slope and Cook Inlet crude oils are burned on water in a 1.2 meter diameter pan. Smoke yields were
