Thomas, P.H. and Webster, C.T., 1960. SOME EXPERIMENTS ON THE BURNING OF FABRICS AND THE HEIGHT OF BUOYANT DIFFUSION FLAMES. Fire Research Notes 420
ABSTRACT
Some data on the effect of varying the width of fabric on the rate of burning and the flame height are reported. These flames differ from fuel jets which have been investigated by several workers in that the initial momentum of the fuel entering the flame is small compared with the increase in momentum due to the flame buoyancy. The results are discussed in terms of an elementary theory for a turbulent flame but more experimental data are required to provide an adequate test of the theory.
