Optimization of Flame Fuel Dissemination Patterns Associated with Firebombs
Abstract
A research effort was conducted to find the optimum dissemination of flame agent from a firebomb. The basic approach was to model under laboratory conditions static dissemination patterns. This involved controlling the physical environment of the experiments and representative collection of data. A computer program was used to reduce and analyze the data. The measuring criteria for optimization were calculated in the computer analysis. These criteria were optimized to give the most effective fuel break up and dissemination pattern. The parameters characterizing this pattern were defined, and an optimum model were constructed. Although the experimental results of this model are unique to the physical conditions of the experiments and cannot be applied directly to dynamic situations, the technique and results offer excellent relative data for the screening of possible dissemination patterns and firebomb effectiveness studies.
