Abstract
By performing a series of pool fire experiments, the authors attempt to apply knowledge of thin-layer boilover to the large scale (pool diameter from 1.5 to 6Â m). Two commercial hydrocarbons were used: gasoline and diesel. As expected, only in the case of diesel did the phenomenon of thin-layer boilover occur. Data were used to analyze various features of thin-layer boilover in fires, particularly its intensity and onset time. A comparison with results published in the literature shows the importance of this study.
