- Abstract
- Several projects have studied the effects of fires on the interior environment of an aircraft. Fires both internal and external to the aircraft were considered. The thrust of the work was to obtain the interior flow field. The flow was calculated using two- and three-dimensional field models with experimental verification in a wind tunnel.
