| Description |
The objective of this
project was to develop capabilities for predicting radiative heat flux surrounding oil
well blowout and diverter fires and the effects of water suppressant. The two major
aspects of this project were:
(1) evaluation of rules for obtaining state relationships
for fuel mixtures using those for pure fuels; and
(2) numerical prediction of trajectories of buoyant
horizontal turbulent jet flames and evaluation using new experimental data.
This is an adjunct to Project No.
