The research focuses on the growth and spread stage of such fires, where a small,
localised flame spreads across a single fuel item, increasing the heat release rate. In particular, the
phenomenon of opposed flow flame spread across flat, non-charring, thermally thick fuel surfaces is examined.Read More
