- Abstract
- In large scale fires, radiation feedback from the flame to the fuel surface can be an important factor determining the rate of fuel volatilization and the rate of flame spread. The radiant flux can be significantly attenuated by core gases that have absorption features in the infrared. Computer simulations that model flame spread require gas absorption data to accurately predict the radiation feedback.
