Abstract

This work reports benchmark data sets for radiative heat transfer in two distinct fire configurations obtained from the Measurement and Computation of Fire Phenomena (MaCFP) working group database. The cases include a 19.2 kW non-sooting turbulent methanol pool fire and a 15 kW sooting ethylene flame (referred to as the FM burner). The base configurations were simulated with large eddy simulation (LES) approaches using two different codes, namely FireFOAM and Fire Dynamics Simulator, respectively. Multiple frozen snapshots from these LES runs were radiatively evaluated using a photon Monte Carlo radiation solver and a line-by-line spectral model. The results were presented at three levels: Firstly, the radiative fields, including radiative emission, reabsorption, and heat flux contours, were shown. Secondly, the global radiative contributions from molecular gas species, soot, and wall boundaries were compared. Thirdly, a detailed spectral analysis of radiative fields for different components within five distinct spectral bands was presented. In the case of the non-sooting methanol pool fire, the radiative emission from CO2 predominates. However, for the radiation reaching the boundaries, both CO2 and H2O contribute almost equally. Conversely, for the sooty FM burner configuration, radiative emission from soot, CO2, and H2O all contribute similarly. In terms of radiation reaching the boundary, soot is the primary contributor in FM Burner. In the methanol pool fire, the pool surface receives a comparable contribution from CO2, H2O, and burner rim radiation, whereas, for the FM burner, the burner inlet surface primarily receives radiation from soot.
