Abstract
The orientation of the burner to the wind direction has been found to have a marked effect on the ability of the flame to resist being blown out by the wind. By using an effective wind speed (V+Ueff) instead of the actual wind speed V, it is shown thai for a given gas the data for different burner inclinations can be collapsed on to a single stability curve, which is the same as that for the case where wind direction is normal to the burner axis.
