Combustion and flame spreading characteristics of diesel fuel with forced air flows

TL;DR: In this paper, a self-developed cross-flow system was used to evaluate the flame spread performance in both opposed and concurrent configurations of diesel fuel under both low and high-speed air flow conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Flame radiation emission from pool fires under the influence of cross airflow and ambient pressure

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of changing ambient pressure (standard-and sub-atmospheric conditions) and crossflow air speed on the flame radiation fraction of a pool fire for a size range of pools were investigated.

An experimental study and analysis on maximum horizontal extents of buoyant turbulent diffusion flames subject to relative strong cross flows

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the non-monotonous evolutions as well as the maximum lengths of the flame base extent (attached to the ground) and horizontal flame extent (deflected flame tip) of buoyant turbulent diffusion flames subject to relative strong cross flows of air.

Numerical simulation on the maximum temperature and smoke back-layering length in a tilted tunnel under natural ventilation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the smoke flow behavior in a tunnel with nine tunnel slopes of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7% and 8% in the downhill direction from the fire source in a tilted tunnel under natural ventilation.

The size of flames from natural fires

P.H. Thomas
- 01 Jan 1962 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the entrainment of air into a turbulent flame was investigated in terms of both a dimensional analysis and the entrainedness of air to the turbulent flame, and the effects of wind on such flames were also reported.

Estimating large pool fire burning rates

TL;DR: Data for estimating the burning rate and heat output of large pool fires (diameter ≳ 0.2 m) are compiled and computational equations presented and a large scatter is noted.
