Modeling Smoke Movement Through Compartmented Structures (NISTIR 4872)

July 1, 1992

Author(s)

Walter W. Jones, Glenn P. Forney

This paper describes a model of fire growth and smoke transport for compartmented structures, with emphasis on those aspects which are important to making correct predicitons of smoke movement in multicompartment structures. In particular, we are

Analyzing Strategies for Eliminating Flame Blow-down Occurring in the Navy's 19F4 Fire Fighting Trainer (NISTIR 4825)

May 1, 1992

Author(s)

Glenn P. Forney, William D. Davis

The purpose of this report is to document a series of numerical experiments performed to analyze strategies for eliminating flame blow-down occurring in the Navy's 19F4 fire fighting training. The first strategy involves the use of a fence in the way

Analyzing and Exploiting Numerical Characteristics of Zone Fire Models (NISTIR 4763)

March 1, 1992

Author(s)

Glenn P. Forney, W F. Moss

In order to design robust and stable zone fire modeling algorithms, the numerical properties of computer arithmetic and modeling differential equations must be understood. This report examines some of these properties and provides tools for their analysis

Molecular Modeling of Polymer Flammability: Application to the Design of Flame-Resistant Polyethylene

January 1, 1992

Author(s)

Marc R. Nyden, Glenn P. Forney, James E. Brown

Molecular dyanmic simulations of the thermal degradation of polyethylene were used to idenfity factors which might be effective in reducing polymer flammability by promoting the formation of a residual char. Computer movies of the calculated trajectories

Computing Radiative Heat Transfer Occurring in a Zone Fire Model

November 1, 1991

Author(s)

Glenn P. Forney

Radiation, convection and conduction are the three mechanisms which a zone fire model must consider when calculating the heat transfer between fires, wall surfaces and room gases. Radiation dominates the other two modes of heat transfer in rooms where

Computing Radiative Heat Transfer Occurring in a Zone Fire Model (NISTIR 4709)

November 1, 1991

Author(s)
