- Abstract
- Theoretical and experimental analysis of turbulent upward flame spread along a vertical solid is presented. A conventional flame spread model based on a linearized flame height approximation is generalized to incorporate burnout effects. The model is verified against full-scale flame spread tests using material heat release data obtained from intermediate-scale tests in which the time history of surface heat flux during the flame spread tests was reproduced.
