Abstract
Liquid pool fires in low gravity environment have been performed by using the drop tower. The gravitational acceleration was changed from 1G to 0.55G. To clarify the factor of puffing occurrence, experiments were performed for the eleven different size of fuel pan with three different kinds of fuels. It is found that the fuel pan size occurring puffing increases with decreasing gravity due to decreasing the flame height with decreasing gravity.
