Factors Affecting Fuel Transport of Firefighting Foam
Aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) used for fuel firefighting contains polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) that have been identified as environmentally persistent and bioaccumulative resulting in phase out of AFFF. Currently, there are no environmentally friendly foams available that can perform at the …

Advanced Computing and Sensing to Improve Mine Fire Characterization and Response
… compromising the health and safety of the firefighting personnel. However, the determination of fire conditions can be difficult due to coarse in-situ measurements, fire hazards, and the large domains of interest. Additionally, CFD and network models used for predicting fire conditions are …

Surfactants at fluid interfaces: molecular modeling and deep learning
… enhanced oil recovery and fire suppression by foams. This dissertation explores surfactant-laden fluid-fluid interfaces in two applications using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and develops deep learning models to predict the interfacial properties of sur factants. The first study …

Numerical Simulation of High Expansion Foam Into Conduits and Mine Openings
High expansion foam (Hi-Ex) is a firefighting technology that has been widely used for fire suppression in underground locations. Hi-ex foam can be applied remotely through boreholes from the surface reducing firefighter exposure to fires. Despite the experimental studies that have been carried out …
