ABSTRACT
Experiments and CFD simulations have been carried out to investigate the effect of inclination on the rate of upward flame spread over combustible solids. The experimental flame spread characteristics and flame spread rates where measured and compared for thin and thick solids. The experimental flame spread rate increased with increasing inclinations as the flame interaction to the surface changed. Critical angles where found to be at an inclination of 20-30° and 50-60°. The experimental data where used for validating CFD simulations. First simulations with the CFD model FDS show limitations in simulating flame spread and ignition for small fires (low HRR) like in the early stage of fires.
