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) …

An analytical method to estimate the heat fluxes received by horizontal targets from two
buoyant turbulent diffusion flames was proposed. Two identical square gas burners with …

This paper presents an experimental investigation on the flame radiation characteristics of
pool fire, including the flame emissivity, diameter and temperature. A series of experiments …

The accidental leakages of combustible fuel during storage and transportation cause the
pool fires which impose hazardous heat on the nearby occupants and facilities mainly by …

The objective of the present work is to characterize heptane pool fires for pool diameters
ranging from 0.1 m to 1.0 m, in a quiescent environment. Characterization of pool fires is …

Radiation and flame scale characteristics of ceiling jet are important key elements, which are
related to the safety of hydrogen energy transport. In this study, the flame radiation …

Accurately obtaining the temperature distribution of the flame is crucial for a comprehensive
understanding of the combustion behavior of the pool fire. The correction method is needed …

Abstract In the Monte Carlo ray-trace (MCRT) method, millions of rays are emitted and traced
throughout an enclosure following the laws of geometrical optics. Each ray represents the …

Thermal radiation is an important parameter to evaluate the hazard of pool fires. In the
conventional solid flame model for the radiant heat flux calculation, the burning flame is …

Hydrocarbon fuels are involved in most fire accidents occurring in industrial facilities, which
may lead to catastrophic consequences in terms of life and property losses. The prediction of …
