NRL Fire Fighting Foams: Dynamics and Behavior

Due: May 1, 2025

$99,200

Description

Foams serve a number of applications. One use critical to the Navy is aqueous film forming foam (AFFF), used for fire protection in a number of military and civilian applications. AFFF coats a liquid hydrocarbon fuel with a layer of foam, which acts as a thermal barrier to inhibit and eventually extinguish combustion. The ability of AFFF to produce foam, as well as the aqueous layer covering the less dense hydrocarbon liquid, is made possible by using surfactants to reduce surface tension. In addition to water, AFFF formulations...

Conducted by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Fellowships Office since 1954, these programs offer a comprehensive research experience through a rigorous selection process. The programs aim to: 1) Offer promising postdoctoral and senior scientists/engineers the chance to pursue self-directed research aligned with sponsoring laboratories' goals, 2) Enhance comprehensive research efforts of participating laboratories, 3) Provide recent doctoral graduates a platform for focused research collaboration with permanent laboratory staff, and 4) Foster professional growth by providing opportunities to gain skills, experience, and connections with leading scientists, ultimately enhancing career prospects in academia, industry, or government research roles. The programs provide mentorship, access to state-of-the-art facilities, and opportunities to influence government policy.
