TY - JOUR PY - 1992// TI - Flame spread on inclined surfaces JO - Fire safety journal A1 - Drysdale, DD A1 - Macmillan, AJR SP - 245 EP - 254 VL - 18 IS - 3 N2 - Experiments have been carried out to investigate the effect of slope on the rate of upward spread of flame over a combustible solid. There is a clear difference between the mechanisms of spread for thin and thick fuels. With the latter, a change in mechanisms is found to occur at an inclination of 15-20[deg]. This is greatly enhanced if entrainment of air from the sides is restricted.
