Abstract
The various mechanisms postulated to control the rate of flame propagation across a liquid fuel surface are discussed in detail. Major consideration is given to the surface tension induced flows which control the propagation at liquid temperatures well below the closed cup flash point and the cause of the flame pulsation noted at liquid temperatures just below the flash point. Some new considerations are given to the concepts and methods of experimentally evaluating flash and fire point phenomena. Analytical developments which correctly predict the very high propagation rates across liquids at temperatures well above their flash points are discussed.
