Accelerated Drying of Wetted Materials

Abstract

The principal focus of attention has been on the performance of field experiments designed to establish whether - under conditions more closely representative of those existing in a militarily relevant situation than it is possible to achieve in the laboratory - the evidence for accelerated drying of wetted materials emanating from laboratory studies can be consolidated in the field. The major goals of the field studies conducted to date have been to devise and optimise a technique using which drying rates can be reliably and accurately determined in the field; and to examine the sensitivity of these rates to fundamental meteorological parameters such as temperature, relative humidity and wind-speed over as wide a range of conditions as possible.
