An Assessment of Correlations between Laboratory and Full-Scale Experiments for the FAA Aircraft Fire Safety Program. Part 5: Some Analyses of the Post Crash

摘要

An attempt is made to develop mathematical predictions for various aspects of the dynamics of post-crash aircraft fires. The basis of the analysis is the experimental simulation scenario under study by the FAA. The effects of wind are considered as well as the effect of interior and exterior fires. Suggestions are presented for estimating cabin door flow rates from measured temperatures.
