Interstitial flows at the middle height of a freely draining foam column were measured by microparticle image velocimetry (μPIV), and superficial flow was measured from the bottom of the foam by a digital weighing scale. In addition, Plateau border

We model an idealized case of heat transfer relevant for foams used to suppress pool fires wherein an ambient-temperature firefighting foam is placed uniformly and instantaneously on top of a hot fuel pool with a boiling point slightly lower than tha

We have quantified the dynamics of bubble coarsening in some commercial firefighting foams. These multi-component foams contain unique chemical formulations leading to different coarsening and drainage behaviors. We show that these firefighting foams

A novel, air-assisted atomizer designed for low-pressures and high viscosity fluids was used to produce and burn a spray of emulsified crude oil with different fractions of seawater. For a set of spray nozzles, the operational stability limits based

An aqueous foam drains interstitial liquid as it fills a container after an induction period. We obtain solutions of quasi-steady and volume-averaged conservation equations containing the moving foam front to describe the induction period and the sub

Using direct-tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy, we obtained simultaneous oxygen, water vapor, and temperature measurements in situ during aqueous high expansion foam-suppressed fires in a foam-adapted cup burner apparatus. Foams with expans

We developed a bench-scale high-expansion aqueous foam generator and integrated it into a traditional cup burner apparatus. Foam expansion ratios ranging from 50:1 to 590:1 could be achieved using air flow rates from 16 l/min to 38 l/min and liquid f

We report the first quantitative and calibration-free in situ C 2 H 2 measurement in a flame environment using direct Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy ( TDLAS ). Utilizing a fiber-coupled Distributed Feedback diode laser near 1535 nm we me
