TLDR
In this paper, the results of an extensive wind-tunnel study into the shapes and sizes of hydrocarbon jet diffusion flames in a horizontal cross-wind are presented, where the shape of a turbulent diffusion flame in a cross wind can be described by the frustum of a cone, which can be defined by five different parameters of shape.About:

Wind effects on fires
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the current understanding of the fire processes which are believed to control mass fire behavior and concluded that the understanding of important physical processes is incomplete and that models for mass fire development and behavior are likely to be subject to large and uncharacterized errors.

Fire Hazard Calculations for Large, Open Hydrocarbon Fires
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present detailed techniques for calculating impacts from large open hydrocarbon fires, including pool fires, jet flames, vapor cloud fires, or fireballs, all of which behave differently and exhibit markedly different radiation characteristics.

Assessment of the shape of vertical jet fires
Adriana Palacios,Joaquim Casal +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the main geometrical features of jet fires (flame shape, length and width) were determined by analyzing infrared images from the observations of visible and infrared images, the flame boundary was defined as that corresponding to a temperature of 800 K and the ratio of flame length to diameter was found to be 7.7.

Efficiencies of low-momentum jet diffusion flames in crosswinds
TL;DR: In this paper, a closed-loop wind tunnel was used to study low-momentum propane, natural gas, and propane/CO 2 diffusion flames in a cross-wind environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal radiation from vertical jet fires
TL;DR: In this paper, the thermal radiation intensity from a series of large outdoor jet fire experiments was estimated by applying the solid flame model in both one-zone and multiple-zone configurations (taking into account the variation of surface emissive power), considering the flame as a cylinder defined by the 800 K isotherm.

The round turbulent jet in a cross-wind
J. F. Keffer,W. D. Baines +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the position of a jet in space, when stretched by the ratio of jet to cross-wind momenta, is described by a single function, where a natural system of axes is used to define important directions of the flow.

Flaring in the energy industry
TL;DR: A critical review of the technology of flaring and of the state of knowledge on which design information can be based can be found in this article, which includes the length and shape of the flame on an elevated flare, its radiation field, as well as noise and air pollution from flares.

Aerodynamics of a Burning Turbulent Gas Jet in a Crossflow
TL;DR: In this paper, a theoretical treatment of the motion of a turbulent gas jet burning in an oxidizing crossflow is presented, which represents a significant extension of the entrainment theory for weak plumes, through the incorporation into its framework of the influences of radiative thermal energy transfer, large density variations, and thermal-energy generation through chemical reaction.
