NIST is currently developing a time-resolved, three-dimensional particle tracking and sizing diagnostic (a.k.a an “emberometer”) that will be applied to airborne firebrands during wildland- urban interface fires. The present paper provides an overview of

Premixed flame inhibition by CF3Br and C3H2F3Br (2-BTP)

The un-stretched burning velocities and Markstein lengths of premixed CH4- and C3H8-air flames with added C3H2F3Br (2-BTP) or CF3Br (Halon 1301), have been studied experimentally and numerically. The predicted un-stretched burning velocities, using a

Experimental and Numerical Simulations of the Gas-Phase Effectiveness of Phosphorus Compounds

The effectiveness of phosphorus-containing compounds as gas-phase combustion inhibitors varies widely with flame type. To understand this behavior, experiments are performed with dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP) added to the oxidizer stream of methane-air

Influence of Flame Characteristics on Gas- Phase Fire Retardant Effectiveness

The presentation discusses the influence of flame characteristics on gas-phase fire retardant effectiveness. First, the action of super-effective agents in co-flow diffusion flames is reviewed, highlighting how particle formation had a detrimental effect
