• Some Relevant Parameters for Assessing Fire Hazards of Combustible Mine Materials Using Laboratory Scale Experiments
  4/1/2018 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  An article about what happens when combustible materials ignite and burn. During the processes of ignition and flaming, other life hazards present themselves and should be included to ensure an effective overall analysis of the relevant fire hazards.
• Quantification of Optical and Physical Properties of Combustion-Generated Carbonaceous Aerosols (less than PM2.5) Using Analytical and Microscopic Techniques
  3/1/2015 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  An article describing experiments conducted to quantify and characterize the optical and physical properties of combustion-generated aerosols during both flaming and smoldering combustion of three materials common to underground mines.
• Improvement of a Mine Fire Simulation Program — Incorporation of Smoke Rollback into MFIRE 3.0
  9/1/2011 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  A modified semi-empirical equation based on large-scale experiments conducted by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) was developed to quantify smoke rollback during an underground mine fire.
• Smoke Reversal Interaction with Diagonal Airway - Its Elusive Character
  1/1/2006 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  NIOSH conducted four diesel-fuel fire experiments with specific fire heat-release rates to determine the reversal of smoke products-of-combustion from a mine fire in a mine section with the airway connectivity of an electrical Wheatstone bridge.
• Experimental and Modeling Investigation of the Effect of Ventilation on Smoke Rollback in a Mine Entry
  1/1/2006 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  Results of diesel fuel fire experiments were conducted to determine the critical air velocity for preventing smoke rollback. Experimental results compared well with model predictions based on a computational fluid dynamics fire dynamics simulator.
• How Smoke Hinders Escape from Coal Mine Fires
  1/1/1992 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  This study predicts the level of smoke that miners might meet while trying to escape a coal mine fire and describes how smoke would impede their safe escape.
