Utilizing spectroscopy to quantify Thermal transport In fLame sprEad
Uncontrolled fire in the built and wild environment remains a major societal issue; climate change and an increasing elderly population suggest a worsening of fire damage within the following years. The flame spread rate (Vf) is the principal quantity to assess the danger of a fire. Accurately predicting thermal transport to the unburnt material is critical to predicting the Vf. Improved quantification of the modes by which flames spread can aid in the prevention and control of nonstationary fires. Combined simultaneous multi-dimensional temperature distributions of the gas with the condensed-phase are required to calculate heat flux to the surface. UTILE is tailored to understand flame…
