“…The group N DHS resembles the Peclet number, Pe = (ul/a) in the case of a convection and a moving heat source (Ref. [33, p. 387]) and needs a knowledge of the mean regression rate that is specific for the fuel [34,35]. Thus, the more adequate formulation of (20) is:…”

The paper concerns the heat transfer models of liquid fuel bed burning on water sublayer. The main efforts are stressed on the qualitative assessment of models available and their adequacy as well as on the prediction of the boilover onset. The analysis employed various data obtained by different research groups. The evaluation of the suitable functional relationships predicting the pre-boilover time was done based on dimensionless groups derived from two types of models published in the literature: Surface Absorption Models and In-Depth Absorption Models.

“…We note in passing that, if the exponential assumption is consistent, the resulting expression, to be presented below, will be an algebraic equation for (3 This reflects the fact that, if the surface cooling is sufficient, relative to the fire size, the fuel will never be heated to its ignition temperature and flame spread will not be possible.…”

“…Fire plumes entrain a great deal more air between the fire base and the height of the visible flame tip than they need for stoichiometric burning [3], If enough gas is delivered by the plume to the ceiling, not all of it will be driven out the hole; the excess accumulates below the ceiling as a growing hot layer.…”

“…It appears there is poor agreement because there is no recognition that centerline temperature at a given elevation depends on the size of the fire and the burning rate of the fuel. A three zone model (continuous flame-intermittent flame-plume) was developed by McCaffrey [8] for explaining the relationship between temperature, elevation, and size (through the total heat release rate).…”

As part of a probablistic risk assessment program, estimates of the thermal exposure in aircraft crash fires were needed. Tests were conducted to simulate he1 spill fires that might occur under the wing of a C-141 transport aircraft. Measurements were made of the fire temperatures and the heat fluxes to the underside of the wing and the underwing hselage surfaces. Both temperatures and heat fluxes are needed to adequately specify the fire exposure.Direct comparisons between the average centerline temperatures measured at a given elevation in different sizes of fires showed poor agreement A scaling analysis using the total heat release rate gave promising results. Statistical analyses of the temperature and heat flux data were used to develop temperature-to-heat flux mappings. The heat fluxes from the current test series are significantly lower than prior data from large open pool fires.
