Mission
To go further on the comprehension and the validation of pyrolysis and flame spread models, the fire community agrees on the need for perfectly instrumented analytical experiments.
To the best of our knowledge, the potential of such experimental tests in the field of pyrolysis and flame propagation has remained largely unexplored to date, and the project aims at filling this science knowledge gap.
For this purpose a simple combustible material in terms of composition and geometry will be defined and used instead of the complex geometry presented by the cable layer and used in previous studies.
The study will focus on panels of homogeneous composition but representative of the outer sheaths of electrical PVC or HFFR cables.
An initial theoretical approach will be carried out on a well-known academic fuel such as black PMMA, to conduct an exhaustive assessment of the metrology and of the experimental protocol.
The second major objective of this research project is to develop and implement a metrology system that will ultimately evaluate or determine the main parameters used in current models of pyrolysis or flame propagation on surfaces.
For example, the mass loss rate will be measured, and fine thermocouples will be inserted into the material to accurately estimate thermal wave propagation within the material.
Infrared imaging will also be used to quantify in detail the temperature of preheating zones, a key parameter in propagation models.
Finally, analytical pyrolysis models will be compared with experimental results, and model parameters will be clearly discussed and analyzed.
A correlative approach may also be carried out in parallel, since it is of considerable interest for the validation of simplified pyrolysis models.
In the longer term, the database will serve the fire research community both analytically and in terms of numerical simulations.
These experiments may be used as reference experiments for international benchmarks.
