A model study of the interaction of multiple turbulent diffusion flames

This research program has shown that a valid model for studies of mass fires can be produced using multiple jets of gaseous fuels. The basic requirement is that the fuel jets produce turbulent diffusion flames which are buoyancy controlled. A specific operating range where this requirement is met was found for this model. A number of flame arrays have been studied in which the dimensionless groups of (array-flame height/single-flame height),...
