Pool fire

A pool fire is a type of diffusion flame where a layer of volatile liquid fuel is evaporating and burning. The fuel layer can be either on a horizontal solid substrate^[1] or floating on a higher-density liquid, usually water.^[2] Pool fires are an important scenario in fire process safety and combustion science, as large amounts of liquid fuels are stored and transported by different industries.
