Flame spread is an important parameter used in the evaluation of hazards for fire safety
applications. The problem of understanding and modeling flame spread has been …

The combustion and flame spread behaviors of discrete fuels often depend on the
distribution of the fuel arrays, including the fuel bed width and the spacing of the fuel arrays …

Microgravity experiments are performed to study concurrent-flow flame spread over an array
of thin cellulose-based fuel samples, using NASA Glenn Research Center's 5.18 s drop …

In this paper, a series of experiments were carried out to study transient burning behaviors of
vertical wooden boards widely used as dividing walls in timber buildings. The boards were …

Upward flame spread over discrete fuels has been analyzed through experiments on vertical
arrays of alternating lengths of PMMA and inert insulation board. By manipulating the …

Fuel loads in real-world fire scenarios often feature discrete elements, discontinuities, or
inhomogeneities; however, most models for flame spread only assume a continuous …

An unsteady two-dimensional numerical model was used to simulate concurrent flame
spread over paper-like thin solid fuels of discrete configurations in microgravity (0 g with 20 …

The forced flow driven flame spread behavior along an array of discrete wooden fuel
elements was experimentally investigated, which could be an important step to …

Concurrent flame spread over discrete fuel arrays is a dangerous flame configuration where
flame spread has the same direction with induced airflow. However, inclined upward flame …

Our objective in the present study is to provide basic insights into the coupling between
external-gas and solid biomass vegetation processes that control the dynamics of flame …
