- flame spread phenomena of an n-decane droplet array in the supercritical pressure range were experimentally investigated in microgravity; experiments were conducted at pressures up to 5.0 MPa, which is over the critical pressure of n-decane; OH-emission images of spreading flame at high pressure; variations of flame spread rate with pressure; flame-spread experiments of an ndecane droplet array were carried out using a dropshaft facility; phenomemon of fuel-vapor jet; mechanism of the fuel-vapor jet; observations of the flame-spread phenomenon were conducted using OH-radical emission, Schlieren, and back-lit images recorded by a high-speed video camera
