Cabin Fire Flammability Envelope (2D)

Interactive 2D spacecraft cabin-fire simulator: the same limiting-oxygen-index flammability model as the 3D version, rendered as a side-view segmented swatch burn test paired with a live LOI-vs-pressure threshold chart, with oxygen fraction, total pressure, material and gravity all tunable in real time.

Every crewed spacecraft has to choose a cabin oxygen fraction and total pressure that keeps ordinary habitat materials from sustaining a fire. This 2D counterpart of the 3D rig simulator renders the same segmented-swatch burn test as a side-view strip that chars and flames segment by segment, paired with a live LOI-vs-pressure threshold chart that plots the flammability boundary for cotton, paper, polyethylene wire insulation or fire-resistant Nomex and marks exactly where your chosen oxygen fraction and pressure sit relative to it. Live readouts track the O2 partial pressure, the pressure-adjusted flammability threshold, the safety margin and the modelled flame-spread rate, while the flame particle cloud itself changes shape between the buoyant plume of 1 g and the slower, near-spherical diffusion of microgravity. Drag the burn-test view to pan and scroll to zoom in on the char front.

⚙ Under the hood

2D counterpart of the 3D cabin-fire simulator: a side-view segmented swatch burn test paired with a live LOI-vs-pressure threshold chart. Tune oxygen fraction, total pressure, material and gravity to see whether the swatch self-extinguishes or sustains a spreading flame, based on the limiting-oxygen-index flammability boundary.
