Experimental study and physical analysis of flame geometry in pool fires under relatively strong cross flows
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of horizontal cross flows on the flame geometry in pool fires was investigated, and a physical model was developed based on the characteristic length scale derived by combining cross flow air speed, the characteristic volumetric air entrainment, the turbulent flame buoyancy and the air required for stoichiometric combustion.

The evolution of flame height and air flow for double rectangular pool fires
Peixiang He,Peng Wang,Kai Wang,Xiaoping Liu,Chunmei Wang,Changfa Tao,Changfa Tao,Yongqiang Liu +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a series of experiments were performed to investigate the flame height of double rectangular pool fires with different aspect ratios and distances in open space, and the experimental results indicated that the fire height decreased sharply with the increase of distance and subsequently exhibited a slight change with further increase in distance.
Tomakomai Large Scale Crude Oil Fire Experiments (所外発表論文)
TL;DR: The results of large-scale crude oil fire experiments conducted in Tomakomai, Japan, in 1998 to obtain information that could be applied to the development of firefighting strategies for, and the design of, huge petroleum storages were summarized in this paper.

An analysis of tunnel fire characteristics under the effects of vehicular blockage and tunnel inclination
Sina Shafee,Ahmet Yozgatligil +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the variations of the tunnel fire burning rate, heat release rate and smoke backlayering as being functions of tunnel blockage and inclination conditions and found that increasing the fire-blockage separation distance had an adverse effect on the burning rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Energy Balance in Medium-Scale Methanol, Ethanol, and Acetone Pool Fires.
TL;DR: Several series of measurements were made to characterize medium-scale pool fires steadily burning in a well-ventilated, quiescent, open environment, showing that both radiation and convection play significant roles in these pool fires.

Large-scale pool fires
TL;DR: A review of the burning behavior of large pool fires and fuel spill fires is presented in this article, where the authors identify the features which distinguish such fires from smaller pool fires are mainly associated with the fire dynamics at low-source Froude numbers and the radiative interaction with fire source.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationship between smoke point and radiant emission from buoyant turbulent and laminar diffusion flames
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the total radiant power emitted by bouyant turbulent flame jets of various hydrocarbon fuels and confirmed the previously established constancy of radiative fraction of total heat release rate, χ RAD, for a given fuel.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental analysis of low air pressure influences on fire plumes
TL;DR: In this article, experimental measurement and theoretical analysis on circular n-Heptane fires with serial sizes were conducted at two altitudes, i.e. 100.8 kPa and 64.3 kPa.

Buoyant plumes of large-scale pool fires
TL;DR: In this article, a series of large-scale pool fire tests were conducted to investigate the variation of plume gas temperature and velocity, and the plume centerline temperature followed the 2/3 power of the convective heat flux, Qc and the −5/3 degree of the pulme height with respect to the virtual source location, z-zo, down to the level where intermittent flames were found.
