  • Computational Modeling of Smoldering Combustion in Wildland Fuels

    Creator:
    Jayasuriya, Waduge Jayani A.
    Abstract:
    Smoldering combustion in wildland fires is a critical phenomenon that needs in-depth study because it can initiate with weaker ignition sources, can persist for long periods, is difficult to suppress, and can transit to flaming combustion. Cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin are the major organic constituents within biomass, in varying proportions...

  • Temperature Evolution of Nonreacting Spark Kernels at Sub-Atmospheric Pressures

    Creator:
    Caplan, Daniel L.
    Abstract:
    In the event of a mid-flight flameout of a gas turbine engine, reignition is paramount to occupant safety. Ignition at high altitude can be challenging, due in part to the potentially lower ambient pressures. An understanding of the effects of sub-atmospheric pressures on the temperature evolution of spark kernels is...
