Experimental and numerical study of upward flame spread and heat transfer over expanded polystyrene at different altitudes

Experimental and numerical study on upward, vertical flame spread was carried out on expanded polystyrene (EPS) at two different altitudes of 50 m and 3658 m to understand the effect that altitude has on flame spread of melted material. The experiments show that, with the altitude increase, the flam...
