- Abstract
- Measurements of luminous flame extensions beneath ceilings under steady burning conditions are presented. Tests were conducted using both axisymmetric and corner-wall-ceiling configurations for a range of energy supply rates up to 400 kW and burner-to-ceiling heights up to 2-3 m. Flame length observations, which were made both visually and photographically, are expressed in dimensional and in nondimensional terms. Comparisons are made with previous measurements reported in the literature.
