This work analyzes the spreading of a flame originating at the                  surface of a polymeric solid.  Such combustion process is                       controlled by a number of factors, in particular by the                         thermodynamic state of the solid and that of the incoming gases.                By identifying the range of properties in which the rate of                     spread is enhanced, substances and wall geometries to be avoided                in fire resistant structures can be identified.  Realistic shapes               and chemical kinetics demand detailed numerical calculations for                which the NSF supercomputer network is well suited.                                                                                                             Understanding the effect of polymeric materials and product shape               on flame spreading will give a valuable insight to the designers                of fire-resistant structures.  Accurate predictive methods will                 replace present uncertainties in the design of a wide range of                  products (furniture, plastic moldings, paints, etc.).
