This paper reviews the physics and correlations for the burning behaviour of pool fires in
wind, discussing also challenges for future research on this topic. In the past decades, the …

Pool fire is generally described as a diffusion combustion process that occurs above a
horizontal fuel surface (composed of gaseous or volatile condensed fuel) with low (∼ zero) …

A series of measurements designed to investigate the heat feedback in pool fires burning
liquid fuels are reported. Such measurements are essential for the development and …

Pool fire is a typical example of fire accidents in chemical process industries. Since fire
researchers have implemented a variety of measurements to gain insights into pool fire and …

To analyze transverse fire protection, the distribution law and evolution mechanism of
transverse heat transfer during fire in utility tunnels is required urgently. In this study, the …

Experiments on rectangular ethanol and n-heptane pool fires were conducted at different
altitudes in Hefei (99.8 kPa) and Lhasa (66.5 kPa). The burners tested had the same fuel …

This review attempts to extract, from the particularly abundant literature devoted to the study
of pool fires, some pertinent contributions to some of the issues that should be addressed to …

A series of experiments were carried out to investigate the effect of ullage height, ie the
distance between fuel surface and the pool upper rim, on flame characteristics of heptane …

The structure and energetics of hydrocarbons burning in a pool fire configuration are
reviewed. Examples of non-hydrocarbons are also presented. The character and structure of …

A dynamic combustion period occurs after the liquid fuel ignition, but the combustion
mechanism is complicated and unclear due to dynamic heat transfer between the fuel and …
