Creeping fire spread under opposed airflow is a classic fundamental fire research problem
involving heat transfer, fluid dynamics, chemical kinetics, and is strongly dependent on …

Dripping of polymer insulations in wire fire has a potential risk of igniting nearby objects and
expanding the size of fire, but has not been well studied so far. In this experimental study …

The effect of total pressure of gas mixture is included in the development of new coefficients
for the weighted-sum-of-gray-gases model (WSGG). The WSGG formulation previously …

With the development of the social economy and the improvement of electrification, cables
and wires play an important role in people's lives and industrial development. Meanwhile …

Reducing ambient pressure (P) in normal gravity is a promising method to simulate
combustion performance in partial gravity (G), but knowledge on simulating flame spread …

The present study revealed experimentally flame spread behavior over high-conductivity
copper (Cu) core electrical wire in sub-atmospheric pressures, and compares those with …

Upward flame spread over the combustible insulation layer of an electrical wire is one of the
most dangerous fire scenarios, with heat and mass transfer primarily governed by buoyancy …

Fire safety is a significant concern in aviation as well as space travel and settlement, where
reduced pressure and raised oxygen concentration are used. Electrical wire has been …

This paper describes the results of an experimental and numerical study of the effect of
electric current on the ignition and flame propagation propensity of polyethylene-insulated …

Abstract Upward-(UFS) and downward (DFS) flame spread along a vertical installed
electrical wire has been examined experimentally to gain better understandings of the heat …
