Abstract
Experimental results from four different overventilated axisymmetric b urner configurations involving different initial velocity profiles in both the air and fuel streams and involving both a quiescent ambient a nd moving airstream establish that flame height in buoyancy dominated Barnes is independent of the initial profiles and linearly dependent o n the velocity of the fuel stream. The present results agree with expe riments carried out by others and with the Burke-Schumann theory for t hese flames.
