- Abstract
- A theoretical and experimental study of the structure and radiation properties of turbulent buoyant diffusion flames is described. The results have application to modeling fires within structures, materials test methods, fire detection, and effects of materials on fire properties. The investigation consists of two phases, as follows: study of effects of turbulence/radiation interactions, considering the properties of nonluminous hydrogen/air diffusion flames; and study of extension of the laminar flamelet concept to soot properties needed to predict radiation from luminous acetylene/air and ethylene/air turbulent diffusion flames. Theory and experiment are considered in both phases of the investigation.
