Abstract
The rate of spread of fire through a fuel bed in the quasi-steady state was evaluated on an energy flux conservation basis. Another heat flux term in addition to the forward horizontal heat flux was found to be of significance in the description of fire propagation. The additional term involves the vertical gradient of the vertical component of the overall forward heat flux and is shown to be dependent on the shape of the combustion zone interface within the fuel bed.
