An experimental study has been conducted to elucidate the mechanism causing the instability of downward flame spread in an air stream. Following detailed observations of unstable flame spread phenomena, the flow fields near unstably spreading flames and the temperature profiles across the preheat zones were examined using particle tracer techniques and fine wire thermocouples. When the free-stream velocity was above that of the stable flame-spread limit, a series of local blow offs were observed during the spread. In this case, most leading flame edges were inclined or bended, and the blow offs occurred mainly at the locations where both inclined angle of the leading flame edge from the horizontal surface and curvature of the leading flame edge were small. Measured temperature-time diagrams at a given distance from the paper surface were almost similar if flames spread stably across the thermocouple junction. The flame spread phenomena including blow offs at the burning zone with a straight leading flame edge could be considered to depend mainly on the velocity component of the free-stream normal to the leading flame edge but scarcely on the velocity profile in the boundary layer of the approach flow.
