Bounds for Downward Flame Spread Rate in Solid Fuels and Comparison to Experiments
Combustion Science and Technology, 2011De Ris formulae for the flame spread rate over solid fuels that propagate against an external fluid flow for both the thermally thin and thick regimes have become well-known. In some cases, it is expected that predictions from these formulae will fail since they are independent of parameters that may modify the burning velocity.

Effects of carbon nanotubes on flame spread rate over 1-propanol
Fire Safety Journal, 2005Abstract This paper discusses the potential for thermally conductive nanoparticles to reduce flame spread velocities over fuel dispersion mixtures. Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were dispersed in 1-propanol at levels above the mixture's percolation limit, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4, 8, and 12 wt%, and tested in a rectangular fuel tray and a shallow pan

Flame spread and burning rates through vertical arrays of wooden dowels
Proceedings of the Combustion Institute, 2019Abstract Fuel loads in real-world fire scenarios often feature discrete elements, discontinuities, or inhomogeneities; however, most models for flame spread only assume a continuous, homogeneous fuel. Because discrete fuels represent a realistic scenario not yet well-modeled, it is of interest to find simple methods to model fire growth first in ...

Combustion and Flame, 2003
Flame-spread phenomena over thin solids are investigated for purely forced-opposing and concurrent flows. A two-dimensional, opposed-flow, flame-spread model, with flame radiation, has been formulated and solved numerically. In the first part of the paper, flammability limits and spread rates in opposed flow are presented, using oxygen percentage, free-

Flame spread and heat release rate model for a burning mattress
1996A model has been developed to calculate the heat release rate of a mattress by a gas burner at the centre of the upper surface. The model describes flame spread of an ignition front radially outwards from a cylindrical flame at the centre. The heat release rate is calculated using the data obtained from cone calorimeter tests at an irradiance of 35 kW ...

Exact Solution for the Rate of Creeping Flame Spread over Thermally Thin Materials
Combustion Science and Technology, 1986Abstract In this work we present the exact solution for the rate of creeping flame spread over thermally thin materials based on de Ris' (1969) formulation of the problem. The publication of the present work was prompted by a recent paper by Wichman and Williams (1984). These authors noted that de Ris (1969) obtained theoretical values for flame spread
