A suite of computer codes, collectively referred to as SMOKE, has been developed to expedite the processing and analysis of data obtained from transient combustion tests. Instrumentation signals which can be processed using SMOKE include pressure sensors, gas and wall thermocouples, and different types of calorimetry such as Sandia-developed thin-film gauges, capacitance-type slug calorimeters, and commercial Gardon-type heat flux gauges. This package has been used to analyze data from combustion experiments conducted at the Sandia National Laboratories FITS facility and in the hydrogen dewar at the Nevada Test Site. In this report, we discuss the theory and models used in the computer codes comprising SMOKE. Details of the data files, signal preparation, and processing procedures for executing SMOKE are provided. Sample data files and representative results using SMOKE are included.
