Modelling flame-to-fuel heat transfer by deep learning and fire images by Caiyi Xiong, Zilong Wang, Xinyan Huang

“…As the pool diameters increase from 20 to 40 cm, the dominant flame-to-fuel heat transfer shifts from convection to radiation. Results show that the proposed AI algorithm trained by flame images can predict both the convective and radiative heat flux distributions on the condensed fuel surface with a relative error below 20%, based on the input of real-time flame morphology that can be captured by a larger grid size. …”
