“…The thermal degradation processes of the plant species are investigated by thermal analysis and calorimetric studies (Philpot, 1970;Ghetti et al, 1996;Klose et al, 2000). The static combustion of forest fuel (Dupuy et al, 2003;Saâdaoui et al, 2007) records and compares the mass loss, the flame geometry and the temperature distribution. The experiments of fire propagation in pine needle beds (Rothermel and Anderson, 1998;Viegas, 1998;Dupuy, 1995;Mendes-Lopes et al, 2003) are focused on the determination of the rate of spread following different conditions (wind, slope, fuel characteristics...).…”

The aim of this work is to identify the parameters influencing the flame behavior. Three different species (Pinus pinaster, Pinus halepensis and Erica arborea) involved in forest fire were crushed to decrease the geometric effects on their combustion. The flaming behavior is studied experimentally from unsteady, axisymmetric, non-premixed laminar flames. The distribution of temperature, the flame geometry, the mass loss as well as the gases released by the fuels are measured. This study confirms the role of the mass burning rate of fuels on the flame dynamics. However, this work highlights a second influence for laminar flames: the composition of degradation gases. It affects the flame geometry and changes the combustion kinetics in the reaction zone.

This work aims to improve the understanding of the parameters involved in the burning of vegetative fuels. As the role of the surface-tovolume ratio is already known, we focused on the influence of other parameters. Three Mediterranean species (Pinus pinaster, Erica arborea and Cistus monspeliensis) were crushed in order to decrease the surface-to-volume ratio effects. The burning of these fuel samples produces unsteady, axisymmetric, non-premixed, laminar flames. The thermal properties and the mass loss of the crushed fuels, the distribution of temperature inside the sample and in the flame, the gases released by the fuels and the flame geometry were investigated. Thanks to these experimental data, the influence of the different fuel properties was underlined. We observed that the mass burning rate of the samples mainly controls the flame dynamics. However, the combustion kinetics in the flame depends on the degradation gases released by the fuels: the reaction zone is shifted and the flame height is changed. It appears that the composition of the degradation gases has to be taken into account to improve forest fire modeling.
