- this research examines a system in which a fuel concentration gradient exists normal to the direction of flame propagation and parallel with the gravitational vector; experimental and numerical results for flame spread through alcohol/air layers formed by diffusive evaporation of liquid fuel at temperatures between the flash-point temperature and the stoichiometric temperature; results of experimentally and numerically determining flame spread rates in layered systems in normal and microgravity
