Abstract:Four Well-Characterized Open Pool fires were conducted by Fire Science and Technology Department. The focus of the Well-Characterized Open Pool fire series was to provide environmental information for open pool fires on a physics first principal basis. The experiments measured the burning rate of liquid fuel in an open pool and the resultant heat flux to a weaponsized object and the surrounding environment with well-characterized boundary and initial conditions. Results presented in this report include a gener… Show more
