Aircraft Ground Fire Suppression and Rescue Systems. Characteristics of Kinematic Jet Fuel Fires Cascading and Rod Fuel Geometries.
Abstract
Based on a survey of kinematic fuel fires in aircraft accidents, two types, i.e., cascade and rod fuel flows, were selected to theoretical and experimental examination. The twofold objectives was (1) relate fire characteristics such as burning rate, radiation field, and flame size to the fuel parameters, the flowing conditions, and the environment, and (2) determine the parameters and their degree of control required to achieve reproducible fires suitable for testing extinguishing agents, equipment, and techniques. Theoretical models based on steady, laminar, one-dimensional flow were developed.
