Journal ArticleDOI
Interaction of two parallel rectangular fires
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the flame interaction of two parallel rectangular fires and found that for a given fuel size parameter, the data of Pm in different interaction states versus the dimensionless flame spacing s/zc cluster well and can be well fitted by Boltzmann function, and the function parameters have definite physical significance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental study on flame characteristics of propane fire array
TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental analysis on the flame characteristics of multiple fires burning by tests of square fire array consisting of even number of equidistant burners, using propane as the fuel.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combustion dynamics of large-scale wildfires
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an overall pattern of the essential factors that lead an initial small-scale spreading flame to a large-scale wildfire beyond control, including the complicated transformation of fuel preheating mechanisms, varied large-size flame fronts and unique spread modes induced in specific fire environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interpretation on fire interaction mechanisms of multiple pool fires
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of n-heptane and ethanol MPF tests with fuel pan diameters D of 0.2, 0.15, and 0.05m and different S/D (S: fire spacing) were performed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of slope on spread of a linear flame front over a pine needle fuel bed: experiments and modelling
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of slope on the spread of a linear flame front over a pine needle fuel bed in still air was evaluated, and it was shown that a weak reverse inflow and an upslope wind (induced by the flame itself) exist respectively ahead of and behind the flame front, and their significant difference in velocity (causing a pressure difference) plays an essential role in the forward tilting of the front.
