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. It has been assumed that fuel heating ahead of the flame front is performe

Reproducible small-scale fires were obtained by burning randomly packed wood shavings (poplar) under controlled environmental conditions. The rate of linear fire spread over the uniform slab-like fuel bed was measured for each of the pertinent variables over the following ranges: relative humidity
The influence of the ambient level of oxygen concentration on the flow assisted flame spread over thick solid fuels and the extinction of the flame is studied by means of numerical modeling. The pyrolysis spread rate decreases with the oxygen concentration, showing qualitative agreement with experim
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 rati
