Numerical simulations are carried out in order to predict drop-size and-time of molten
polymer during fire. Mass, momentum and energy conservation equations are solved in a 2 …

The melting behavior of a number of polymers during burning, including thermoplastic and
thermosetting polymers was studied by experiment and modeling. It was found that in a fire …

Thermoplastic polymers are widely used in roles where molding facilitates cost effective,
high volume applications. Such polymers exhibit uniquely complex behavior in a fire …

ABSTRACT A model of the melting and dripping behavior of thermoplastic materials in fire is
being developed using the Particle Finite Element Method (PFEM), which is capable of …

A model has been developed for steady polymer melt blowing. This model includes the
dominant effect that the forwarding air has upon the process. Inertial, gravitational and heat …

Polymeric materials often exhibit complex combustion behaviours encompassing several
stages and involving solid phase, gas phase and interphase. A wide range of qualitative …

The flow field resulting from two similar converging-plane jet nozzles was studied using a
computational fluid dynamics approach that was validated through experimental data. The …

This study numerically investigates the effect of dripping on the ignitability of a vertically-
oriented thermoplastic material subjected to localized radiant heating within a 2D domain …

Although non-charring polymers have been frequently utilized in the industry, public
transport and buildings, their fire risk could be more serious comparing to the others such as …

ABSTRACT A combination of experiment and modeling is being used to investigate the
effects of material properties on the melt flow behavior of thermoplastics. The dripping …
