Abstract:
A review is given of data that describe the mass flux of
gas in large buoyant diffusion flames, with the aim of
developing a rational picture for this process as well
as a correlation of the data. A brief review of
flame-height scaling parameters is followed by a
discussion of measurement techniques, the previous work
on far-field and fire-plume models, and a description of
an effort to develop a rational entrainment model.
