- Abstract
- 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.
