Effect of Ammonium Polyphosphate/Silicate Content on the Postfire Mechanics of Epoxy Glass‐Fiber Composites Using Facile Chocolate Bar‐Inspired Structures

open access: yesFire and Materials, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 329-346, April 2025.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the postfire mechanical properties of epoxy glass‐fiber reinforced composites (EP GFRCs) using increasing concentrations of ammonium polyphosphate (APP) and inorganic silicate (InSi) to modify the char and fire residue.

Turbulent partially cracked ammonia/air premixed spherical flames

open access: yesFuel Communications
The combustion of ammonia requires, for most energy conversion systems, a combustion promoter such as hydrogen to guarantee the start-up, stability and combustion efficiency.

Numerical Simulation of Laminar and Turbulent Methane/Air Flames Based on a DRG-Derived Skeletal Mechanism

open access: yesEurasian Chemico-Technological Journal, 2020
Simulation of turbulent flames using detailed chemical mechanisms is still a challenge in numerical combustion due to the large number of species and the stiffness of the system of governing equations.

Large Eddy Simulation of combustion instabilities in a lean partially premixed swirled flame [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
This paper investigates one issue related to Large Eddy Simulations (LES) of self- excited combustion instabilities in gas-fueled swirled burners: the effects of incom- plete mixing between the gas injection and the combustion chamber.

Deriving the Charring Rate of a Wood Fibre Insulation Board by Exposure to the ISO 834 Standard Fire

open access: yesFire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wood fibre insulation boards (WFIB) are widely used combustible building materials, commonly applied in energy‐efficient construction for their thermal and hygric performance. The present study investigates the behaviour of the most common type of wood fibre insulation when exposed to the ISO 834 standard fire.

A comparison of computational and experimental lift-off heights of coflow laminar diffusion flames [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
As a sensitive marker of changes in flame structure, the number densities of excited-state CH (denoted CH*), and excited-state OH (denoted OH*) are imaged in coflow laminar diffusion flames. Measurements are made both in normal gravity and on the NASA KC-

Theoretical Model of Transient Regression of Thermoplastic Materials During Flame Spread: Vaporization; Permanent Mass Loss; Surface Shape

open access: yesFire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines a transient, one‐dimensional model of surface regression during opposed flow flame spread over finite thickness, non‐charring thermoplastics. Gas to solid conductive transfer from the flame drives sample heating. The solid degrades into volatile fuel molecules in two stages: (1) the pre‐vaporization heat‐up stage and (2 ...

Influence of gas compression on flame acceleration in the early stage of burning in tubes

open access: yes, 2012
The mechanism of finger flame acceleration at the early stage of burning in tubes was studied experimentally by Clanet and Searby [Combust. Flame 105: 225 (1996)] for slow propane-air flames, and elucidated analytically and computationally by Bychkov et ...
