Baldwin, R., Thomas, P.H. and Wraight, H.G., 1964. THE MERGING OF FLAMES FROM SEPARATE FUEL BEDS. Fire Research Notes 551
ABSTRACT
The flames from nearby fuel beds tend to merge, causing an increase in flame height and radiation. The critical conditions of merging are deduced by elementary considerations of entrainment and the motion of flames for two different configurations, 1) Two rectangular fuel beds. 2) Four square fuel beds. There is reasonable agreement between the theory, experiments using 1 ft town gas burners, related experiments with small nozzles, and a full-scale fire.
