Full-scale test programs have investigated the phenomena associated with propellant fires. An existing computer fire model, FAST, was modified to account for fire phenomena specific to missile propellant combustion. The modified computer program and the developed missile propellant burning rate algorithm were exercised in blind predictions of full-scale tests. The model predictions characterize the compartment environment (e.g., gas temperatures, layer interface, oxygen concentration, visibility and heat flux on floor targets) which is important in ascertaining the likelihood of subsequent ignition of class A materials in the compartment. Comparisons between the blind predictions and the test data are presented. These components show a good level of agreement between the test data and modeling predictions. 收起
