Experimental study on propane jet fire hazards: Assessment of the main geometrical features of horizontal jet flames

Jet fires are among the least severe fires in terms of direct effects, but are very important in terms of risk assessment due to the potential escalation of the incident by impingement or engulfment of the jet fire on the surrounding vessel, pipework or other components. This paper focuses on the determination of the main geometrical features (flame shape, length, and width) of medium-scale horizontal jet fires in air. The study is based on the...
