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

Boussinesq Algorithm for Buoyant Convection in Polygonal Domains.

April 1, 1992
Author(s)
Kevin B. McGrattan, Ronald G. Rehm, Hai C. Tang, Howard R. Baum
A 2-D Boussinesq model describing heat-driven buoyant convection in a polygonal enclosure is presented. The hydrodynamics is based on the time-dependent Navier-Stokes equations with constant viscosity and thermal conductivity; no turbulence model or other
