Journal of Physics: Conference SeriesAbstract Flame spread over solid fuel is a fundamental problem in fire safety science. Although it has been studied in different orientations – downward, upward, horizontal, and lateral – closed-form formula for predicting the flame spread rate is only available for opposed-flow configuration and has been experimentally verified in ...

Evaluation of burning rate in microgravity based on the fuel regression, flame area, and spread rate
Combustion and Flame, 2022 Abstract The fuel burning rate and heat-release rate (HRR) play key roles in determining the fire intensity and hazard. On Earth, the burning rate of a condensed fuel is normally measured by the mass loss, but in microgravity, the impossibility of measuring the weight loss with a balance makes the measurement of burning rate challenging.

Proceedings of the Combustion Institute, 2023 Though flame retardants are considered for use in spacecraft, their performances in microgravity are still poorly understood. To assess their effects on flame extinction, opposed flame spread rate, and smoke emission in the absence of buoyant flows, thin cylindrical samples of Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) loaded with intumescent flame retardants are
