FireCAD Development for Hazard Analysis

August 10, 1997
Author(s)
J. A. Cappuccio, Walter W. Jones, Glenn P. Forney
ABSTRACT ONLY This paper addresses the development of FireCAD, a tool for performing Fire Hazard Analysis using the capabilities of the computer aided design tool, AUTOCAD, and the zone fire model, CFAST. FireCAD uses an AUTOCAD drawing as a basis for

Comparison of CFAST Predictions to Real Scale Fire Tests

October 15, 1996
Author(s)
Walter W. Jones, J. L. Bailey, P. A. Tatem, Glenn P. Forney
This paper describes a new algorithm of the Consolidated Fire Growth and Smoke Transport (CFAST) fire model and compares to data from real scale fire tests conducted onboard the ex-USS SHADWELL, the Navy's R&D Damage Control Platform. The new phenomenon

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

Simulating the Effect of Flat Beamed Ceiling on Detector and Sprinkler Response

November 6, 1994
Author(s)
Glenn P. Forney, Richard W. Bukowski, William D. Davis
This paper documents a portion of the work performed during the first year of the International Fire Detection Research Project sponsored by the National Fire Protection Research Foundation (NFPRF). The first task was to confirm that fire sensor response

Field Modeling: Simulating the Effect of Sloped Beamed Ceilings on Detector and Sprinkler Response. International Fire Detection Research Project. Technical Report. Year 2

October 1, 1994
Author(s)
William D. Davis, Glenn P. Forney, Richard W. Bukowski
The rapid activation of fire detection and suppression systems in response to a growing fire is one of the important factors required to provide for life safety and property protection. Rapid activation requires that sensors be located at optimal distances
