Flame spread in laminar mixing layers: the triple flame [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
In the present paper we investígate flame spread in laminar mixing layers both experimentally and numerically. First, a burner has been designed and built such that stationary triple ñames can be stabilised in a coflowing stream with well defined linear ...

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.

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

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

Study on the numerical model of 2-dimensional surface flame spread due to wind and slope in forest fire [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The characteristics of the spread of a forest fire are generally related to combustibles, geographical features, and metrological conditions such as wind.

Experimental Study of the Effect of Slope on the Spread and Burning Characteristics of a Continuous Oil Spill Fire

open access: yesFire, 2022
Elucidating the characteristics of continuous oil spill fires for different slope conditions can provide important theoretical support for the prevention of, and rescue strategies during, oil spill fire accidents.

Modelling of opposed flame spread over thin electric wires: estimation of flame spread rates and limiting oxygen concentrations

open access: yesCombustion Theory and Modelling
A model of opposed flame spread along thin electric wires is developed to estimate the variation of flame spread rate (Vf) with oxygen concentrations and oxidiser flow velocity. The length of pyrolysis zone (Lpy) and Vf are treated as eigenvalues of the problem, and one-dimensional energy balance equations for the wire core and insulation are ...
