Gas burner experiments conducted in modern residential style structures

The fire modeling community currently lacks full-scale data from tests conducted in realistic residential-style structures. Controlled gas burner tests were conducted in purpose-built single- and two-story structures instrumented throughout with thermocouples, pressure transducers, and bi-directional probes. Experiments consisted of sequences of ventilation events. The data collected in these tests was intended to provide several new validation cases for the fire modeling community.
