Simulation of Deuterium Oxidation in a Room with a Fire

Gilkey, Lindsay N.; Brown, Alexander L.

A series of experiments where deuterium was released in trace amounts into a room with a fire were performed at Sandia. This report describes the corresponding effort to model the test series using SIERRA/FUEGO. The objective of this modeling effort was to produce a simulation test matrix that can be utilized to help interpret the corresponding experiments and be used to assess the credibility of using the SIERRA/FUEGO simulations as a surrogate for real tritium reaction data.
