Abstract:

Slope structures are commonly used in buildings, but such slope structures can exacerbate the rate of fire spread, complicate building fire safety and suppression, and lead to injuries, deaths, and property damage. Particularly, the thermal hazards posed by ambient wind on sloped fires remain unquantified. In this study, a propane burner was used to simulate the flame morphology behavior of a sloped building fire. 480 tests were conducted with varying aspect ratios (1 8) of the fire source, different ambient winds (0 m/s 3.5 m/s), and slope inclination angles (0 degrees 40 degrees). Results demonstrate that the flame length initially increases and then decreases with an increment in ambient wind velocity. Moreover, with an increased aspect ratio of the fire source (length-to-width ratio), the turning point at which the flame length peaks shift to occur at a lower wind velocity threshold. The tilt angle and height of the flame change (respectively increases and decreases) significantly at lower ambient wind speeds and they tend to asymptotically approach respective constant values. As the ambient wind is further promoted. Existing physical models of flame morphology do not consider the combined effects of fire source aspect ratio, slope inclination angle, and ambient wind. A new slope entrainment restriction factor (EF) was proposed based on an analysis of the upward and leeward entrainment volumes. Using this factor, new models for flame morphology (including flame length, flame tilt angle, and flame height) were established. The accuracy and generalizability of the new flame models have been validated using reference data.
