On The Role of Configuration Types and Surface Orientation on Ignition and Fire Spread in Array of Thin Solid Fuels

With systematic experimentation, the fire propagation and self-ignition effect is explored.With the increasing number of fire disasters in recent years and from the accompanying scientific development.It is imperative to test distinct approaches to develop enhance understanding of this heterogenous phenomenon to prevent future incidents and to minimize losses.The study presents a macroscopic qualitative approach to the assessment using central investigation parameters.Varying linear configuration(s) incorporated with the slope effect is investigated and useful physical understanding is drawn to gain the true replication.Quintessential parameters like, nature of flame, classification of propagation effect, the flame height, assisting heat source and heat sink effect in view of self-ignition effect are observed.The results clearly show the large-scale fire propagation phenomenon to be highly heterogenous in nature.Unique singularities were observed with different cases which proposes better probability-based solution.
