โฆ Synopsis
Experimental investigation of the e!ect of blended fuel on #ame spread along droplet array has been conducted. Flame spread rate is measured using high-speed chemiluminescence images of an OH radical. The #ame spread is observed with the initial droplet diameter, droplet spacing, and the mixing ratio of n-heptane and n-hexadecane. The mode of #ame spread is categorized into two types: a continuous mode and an intermittent one. It is seen that #ame spread rate is sensitively dependent on the relative #ame position to droplet spacing. For a large droplet, the #ame spread time is governed by a volatile fuel (heptane), but for a small droplet, it is controlled by a less volatile fuel (hexadecane).

The flame-spread process through layers of some forest fuels (needles, grass etc.) has been analysed by taking fuel inhomogeneity as the factor controlling the formation of local flames at the leading edge of the flame front.
