Abstract:
In a pool fire, an ignited puddle or pool of liquid fuel
burns in the atmosphere. Understanding pool fires is
important to devising methods to control the hazards
resulting from spilled fuels. In this case study we
consider techniques for visualizing the data measured in
pool fires and for computing the radiative transfer from
pool fires. Combustion challenges the development of
appropriate visualization techniques. Fires are
turbulent, non-steady, and multi-wavelength in emission.
Moreover, fire data belongs to a class of visualization
problems for which it is important to consider the
radiative simulation used to generate visualizations.
