Numerical simulation of small-scale pool fires of LNG
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of the released amount of fuel and its composition (methane, ethane, and propane) on the thermal and chemical properties of small-scale LNG pool fire were evaluated for pool having diameter smaller than 10 m.

Burning rate, flame geometry and temperature of convection-controlled circular diesel oil pool fire under air crossflow conditions.
TL;DR: An experimental investigation of diesel oil (S500 type) pool fires under air crossflow conditions showed that the flame region became hotter and the plume region (non-reacting region) became colder as the air cross flow velocity was increased.

A Model Considering the Flame Volume for Prediction of Thermal Radiation from Pool Fire
TL;DR: In this article, a revised solid flame model by correcting the flame diameter with the flame height and flame volume was presented, which can better predict the thermal radiation from heptane pool fires in both near and far fields.

Examination of radiative fraction of small-scale pool fires at reduced pressure environments
Jiahao Liu,Zhihui Zhou +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of small-scale n-heptane pool fires with diameters of 4-10 cm are performed at low pressures by means of an altitude chamber, and the radiative fraction of tested pool fires are determined, and coupled effects of pressure and pool diameter on this parameter are observed.

The size of flames from natural fires
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.
