Study on the influence of enclosed vertical channels on downward flame spread over XPS thermal insulation materials
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of length-width ratio (α) of enclosed vertical channel on the downward flame spread of XPS insulation material attaching to the wall was investigated, and the experimental results showed that the average flame height firstly increases and then decreases with the increase of α.

Entrainment in fire plumes.
TL;DR: In this paper, a new technique for measurement of mass flow rates in buoyant fire plumes is described, and the characteristics of 10 - 200 k W methane diffusion flames stabilized on porous-bed-burners of 0.10 - 0.50 m dia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Visible structure of buoyant diffusion flames
TL;DR: In this article, the dependence of flame height on a dimensionless heat addition parameter shows a transition for values of the parameter around unity, indicating that the initial diameter of the fire does not affect the length of the flame whereas for short flames, initial geometry becomes important.
