Thomas, P.H., Pickard, R.W. and Wraight, H.G., 1963. ON THE SIZE AND ORIENTATION OF BUOYANT DIFFUSION FLAMES AND THE EFFECT OF WIND. Fire Research Notes 516


ABSTRACT

The length of a flame and the height to which it rises above a long horizontal wood fire have been measured for a range of values of the burning rate per unit base area of burning zone, wind speed, and size of burning zone. It is shown that the results can be expressed in forms derived from dimensional analysis.
