WindCline: Sloping Wind Tunnel for Characterizing Flame Behavior Under Variable Inclines and Wind Conditions
Amanda S. Makowiecki, Sean C. Coburn, Samantha Sheppard +15
Developing accurate computational models of wildfire dynamics is increasingly important due to the substantial and expanding negative impacts of wildfire events on human health, in…
Efficient Simulations of Propagating Flames Using Adaptive Mesh Refinement
Caelan Lapointe, Nicholas T. Wimer, Jeffrey F. Glusman +5
Wildland fires are complex multi-physics problems that span wide spatial scale ranges. Capturing this complexity in computationally affordable numerical simulations for process stu…
Scaling of the Puffing Strouhal Number for Buoyant Jets
Nicholas T. Wimer, Caelan Lapointe, Jason D. Christopher +6
Prior research has shown that round and planar buoyant jets "puff" at a frequency that depends on the balance of momentum and buoyancy fluxes at the inlet, as parametrized by the R…
High-Resolution Numerical Simulations of a Large-Scale Helium Plume Using Adaptive Mesh Refinement
Nicholas T. Wimer, Marcus S. Day, Caelan Lapointe +5
The physical characteristics and evolution of a large-scale helium plume are examined through a series of numerical simulations with increasing physical resolution using adaptive m…
