Structure of the Database

The MaCFP database is organized around specific phenomena or unit problems in fire physics. Each problem has a directory at the root level of the database. And each problem is assigned task leaders to gather and present the available target experimental data. The database structure for a given problem is ultimately the choice of the task leaders. But below we provide a suggested structure, which we followed in setting up the Extinction benchmarks.

Under a unit problem we have directories for each experiment. Let's look at the UMD_Line_Burner experiment.
