Critical Criterion for Flame Spread Acceleration of Concave Surfaces with Different Curvatures

open access: yesFire
Concave surface is a common geometry in both industrial buildings and natural environments; the flame spread behaviors on this special surface are worth studying, while few studies have been completed yet.

A Comparison of Flame Spread Characteristics over Solids in Concurrent Flow Using Two Different Pyrolysis Models

open access: yesJournal of Combustion, 2011
Two solid pyrolysis models are employed in a concurrent-flow flame spread model to compare the flame structure and spreading characteristics. The first is a zeroth-order surface pyrolysis, and the second is a first-order in-depth pyrolysis.

The Transition and Spread of a Chaparral Crown Fire: Insights from Laboratory Scale Wind Tunnel Experiments

open access: yesJournal of Combustion, 2022
Fire occurring in the chaparral behaves as a crown fire, a dual-layer fire that typically ignites in a dead surface fuel layer and transitions to an elevated live crown layer where it continues to spread.

Experimental study on flame spread characteristics of double PE-insulated wires with different spacing distances

open access: yesCase Studies in Thermal Engineering, 2022
In this paper, three types (typeⅠ, type Ⅱand type III) of polyethylene-insulated wires with copper core diameters of 6 mm, 8 mm and 10 mm and thickness of polyethylene of 2 mm respectively, were used to research the flame spread of double wires with ...

Laser‐Induced Graphene from Waste Almond Shells

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Almond shells, an abundant agricultural by‐product, are repurposed to create a fully bioderived almond shell/chitosan composite (ASC) degradable in soil. ASC is converted into laser‐induced graphene (LIG) by laser scribing and proposed as a substrate for transient electronics.

Effects of boundary layer displacement and separation on opposed-flow flame spread [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
An analysis is presented of the viscous-inviscid Interaction region around the tip of a flame spreading over the surface of a solid fuel in a forced laminar high reynolds number air stream that opposes the flame propagation. Through the interaction, the

Advanced Flame Retardant Strategies and Fire Performance Assessment for Safer Photovoltaics in Buildings: A Two‐Part Review

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The integration of photovoltaic (PV) systems into building structures introduces distinct fire risks with critical implications for occupant safety. This review examines the key fire hazards associated with PV implementation and explores mitigation strategies, including flame‐retardant additives.

Flame spread of droplet-cloud elements with two-droplet interaction in microgravity

open access: yesJournal of Thermal Science and Technology, 2017
This research conducted microgravity experiments to investigate the flame-spread characteristics of the fuel-droplet-cloud element with uneven droplet spacing, which is a basic element of a randomly distributed droplet cloud at the critical condition for

Fire behaviors along timber linings affixed to tunnel walls in mines.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2021
Timber linings are applied as primary supports in the tunnel fault and fracture zones of mines. These linings are essential to prevent broken rock from falling during the occurrence of exogenous fires. In this study, experiments and numerical simulations
