On the flame height definition for upward flame spread [PDF]

open access: yesFire Safety Journal, 2007
Flame height is defined by the experimentalists as the average position of the luminous flame and, consequently is not directly linked with a quantitative value of a physical parameter. To determine flame heights from both numerical and theoretical results, a more quantifiable criterion is needed to define flame heights and must be in agreement with ...
