- Abstract
- Flame radiation dominates energy transport from fires, influencing their burning and growth rates. In order to better understand these effects, earlier work in this laboratory investigated the properties of turbulent nonluminous diffusion flames and developed reasonably successful methods for predicting their radiation properties and for estimating effects of turbulence/radiation interations. The paper begins with a brief description of theoretical and experimental methods. Predicted and measured flame structure and spectral radiation intensities are then discussed. The paper concludes with consideration of soot absorption properties.
