Abstract
A survey of the characteristics and predictions of the different theoretical models of the spread of flames over the surface of a solid combustible in opposed or concurrent oxidizing flows shows that, at present, there is a good understanding of what are the controlling mechanisms of the flame spread process and of what is the necessary formulation to develop a rigorous analysis of the phenomenon.
