A Study of Scaling Laws in Pool and Crib Fires

Abstract The general objective of the work on which this paper is based was to improve scaling laws in fire research. Pool and crib fires experimentally exhibit different characteristics. Scaling laws are proposed that reflect these differences. The scaling laws predict that the burning time and the irradiance measured at geometrically similar points in pool fires will not depend on the size, while those in crib fires will be proportional to the square root of the length. Results of experiments done by the authors and other researchers were collected, and some of the results were reinterpreted and replotted. These results support the validity of the proposed scaling.
