| Abstract | Computer modeling represents a relatively new methodology in the search for halon alternatives. The purpose of this report is to investigate the feasibility of using computer modeling to make the selection of halon alternatives more efficient and effective. This report reviews the current developments in computer modeling and the existing kinetic databases for hydrocarbon fuels and halon alternatives. The range of application of the computer models and their limitations are discussed in the report.This review shows that computer modeling is capable of accurately reproducing some aspects of fire phenomena, and that it is being regarded as another method for evaluating agent performance. Such a "test" is better defined and much easier to carry out, in comparison with a full-scale fire test. |
