Airflow Effects on Fires. Part II.

Abstract

This report expands the knowledge of airflow effects on fuel fires initiated by nonnuclear combat damage obtained from previous work reported in JTCG/AS-T-75-001. An investigation is made into the influence of selected airflow parameters (coefficient of pressure and the bonudary layer thickness) upon the blowout velocity for a variety of damage conditions and angles-of-attack.
