Verification and Validation Final Report for Fire and Smoke Spread Modeling and Simulation Support of T-AKE Test and Evaluation

Abstract

The current approach for the characterization of secondary damage associated with a weapon hit has evolved over several Total Ship Survivability (TSS) and Battle Damage Repair Assessment (BDRA) evaluations. The genesis of the current methodology was rudimentary fire spread times, developed by the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) and Hughes Associates, Inc., based on USS Stark incident data and testing. This information was implemented in a TSS model developed by the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division (NSWC/CD). The fire spread methodology was subsequently improved and the framework was expanded to allow for smoke spread during the evaluation performed for the LPD- 17 VAR 2. Most recently, the methodology was further refined during the CVNX assessment. This report reflects the most current methodology used for the VAR 3 process for the LPD-17 platform detailed design. This approach is proposed to be adopted for T-AKE.
