Computational investigation of flame extension height for horizontally oriented rectangular source jet fires impinging on a vertical plate

Summary This paper investigates the flame extension height induced by a horizontally oriented rectangular source fire impinging on a vertical plate, which has rarely been reported in literature. Focusing on the scenarios with nonimpinging flame lengths that are comparable with or larger than the plate‐source distance, a series of numerical experiments were conducted, in which the exit velocities varied from 27.5 to 125 m/s and the orifice aspect...
