The study found that flame height and inclination angle increase with pool diameter, and flame height initially increases and then gradually decreases with separation distance, while the inclination angle varies with pool diameter. Additionally, flame height exponentially increases with the dimensionless heat release rate, and the radiative heat flux peaks at the critical separation distance of flame merging.
This paper investigated the effect of separation distance on the flame appearance and radiation heat flux of medium-scale pool fires dominated by radiation. A series of experiments were conducted on two adjacent heptane pool fires with diameters of 20 cm, 40 cm and 60 cm at separation distances ranging from 0 to 60 cm. According to experimental results, flame height and flame inclination angle increase monotonously with the increase of pool diameter. As separation distance increases, flame height increases first and decreases gradually for 3 different sized pool fires. However, the variation law of flame inclination angle with separation distance varies with pool diameter. The normalized flame height (Hf/D) is found to increase exponentially with the dimensionless heat release rate (Q*) with an exponent of 0.71. The radiative heat flux at the center of the pool surface peaks at the critical separation distance of flame merging, which results from increased flame emissivity and view factor. Based on thermal analysis, a model to predict the radiative heat flux on the fuel surface is developed. The predicted radiative heat fluxes quantitatively match the experimental results but with 20% overvalued, due to the neglection of radiation blockage effect of cool fuel vapors zone and soot. The blockage effect is more pronounced for the merging pool fires with a diameter of 60 cm.
