Paper Title: Experimental Investigation of the heterogeneous fire propagation in real time scale

Abstract: Forest fire, building fire and explosion of rockets are some examples of uncontrolled self-igniting and propagating fires. The uncertainty around such large-scale fires has led to irreplaceable loss of precious lives, natural resources, systems, facilities and every year huge amount of money is spent on research efforts to prevent it. Researchers have been studying the phenomenon for a long time but are yet to replicate something that is close to reality. The study investigated the effects of external energy sources placed in different configurations under varying conditions in uncontrolled self-igniting and propagating fires. Systematic experiments were performed with a setup with matchsticks arranged in varying configurations as external sources and their effect was noted by the change in flame spread rate of the pilot fuel. Optical shadowgraphy was used to collect data which helped in rendering an insight about the heterogeneous behaviour of fire propagation, flame spread rate and associated energy transfer. It was observed that flame spread rate varies non-monotonically with orientation and number of external energy sources. The key controlling parameters were identified their effects on fire propagation was understood. A new non-dimensional number was introduced for easier understanding of results. The results obtained can be used to design state of the art fire prediction systems which would give us extra control time to minimize the losses.
Keywords: Fires, fluid and thermal science, non-linearity, configurations, spread rate
