Modeling of Aircraft Fire Suppression
Modeling of aircraft fire suppression studies show that the theoretical equations/parameters for scaling of the required quantities of fire extinguishing agent from small test fires to large scale actual crash fires is feasible. Modeling was based on the use of the firefighting agent Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) which the United States Air Force currently uses in response to aircraft fires. The fire suppression model relates fire control time to variables in the fire area, agent application rates and agent properties. This report contains the analysis data for various fire configurations resulting in good correlation between the predictive models and the actual events studied. Keywords: Fire suppression; Fire control; Fire area; Firefighting agent; Aqueous film Forming foram (AFFF); Fire modeling aircraft fires. (SDW)
