Wall Flames and Implications for Upward Flame Spread

Combustion Science and Technology, 1985
Abstract New concepts are addressed for predicting the flame spread on materials from laboratory measurements. It focuses on heat transfer which precipitates and precedes upward flame spread on a vertical surface. Six materials have been featured in this study as well as in past related studies. Their flame spread properties are presented.

Opposed-flow flame spread in a narrow channel: Prediction of flame spread velocity

Proceedings of the Combustion Institute, 2019
Abstract This paper presents results of experimental and numerical investigations of flame spread along a thin solid in an opposed oxygen flow in a narrow channel. Experiments are conducted at various oxygen flow speeds and gas-phase heights. For a low gas-phase height or a low oxygen flow speed, a large portion of solid is left unburned, and the ...

Intraluminal flame spread in tracheal tubes

The Laryngoscope, 1994
AbstractIntraluminal combustion in polyvinyl chloride tracheal tubes was investigated. Two flame types were observed: intraluminal and downstream. The flame‐spread velocity, burning rate, and equivalence ratio of the intraluminal flame were determined.

Upward flame spread on composite materials

Fire Safety Journal, 1995
Three existing models of upward flame spread were tested against intermediate-scale experiments on a vinyl ester/glass composite. Characterization of rate of heat release per unit area, needed as input to the models, was obtained at external radiant fluxes below the minimum for ignition by adaptation of a method due to Kulkarni.

A numerical model for flame spread along combustible flat solid with charring material with experimental validation of ceiling flame spread and upward flame spread

Fire and Materials, 2007
AbstractThis paper gives a numerical model for flame spread along combustible flat solid with charring materials. The presented model consists of a one‐dimensional flame spread model coupled with a one‐dimensional pyrolysis model. The existing experimental data (the ceiling flame spread beneath medium density fibreboard) are used for comparison to ...

Flame Spread Modeling

Combustion Science and Technology, 1984
Abstract A survey of the characteristics and predictions of the different theoretical models of the spread of flames over the surface of a solid combustible in opposed or concurrent oxidizing flows shows that, at present, there is a good understanding of what are the controlling mechanisms of the flame spread process andl of what is the necessary ...

Concurrent turbulent flame spread

Symposium (International) on Combustion, 1991
The rate of flame spread over the surface of thick PMMA sheets has been measured as a function of the velocity and turbulence intensity of a forced air flow concurrent with the direction of flame propagation. It is shown that the flow turbulence has a strong influence on the flame spread process.
