Combustion Research and Technology
CSE has strong and well-diversified capabilities in fundamental and applied combustion research, and boasts extensive knowledge and achievements in both analytical and experimental investigations. CSE uses a variety of methods in its experimental testing—including advanced optical and laser-based techniques—to measure temperatures, heat fluxes, and species and particulate concentrations. CSE’s comprehensive analytical capabilities include reaction kinetics, radiation modeling, and reacting-flow Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD).

Fire Protection Research and Development
CSE has the capabilities to design and conduct both small- and large-scale fire tests for investigation of ignition, detection, growth, and spread of fires. Typical measurements include temperatures, heat fluxes, heat release rates, smoke obscuration, concentrations of oxygen and fire gases (including carbon monoxide), and time-to detector activation. Fire tests can be conducted in-house or in cooperation with several other fire research laboratories.
