This paper presents results of theoretical and experimental studies on smoldering combustion of thin solid with a particular focus on its stability. In a recent study, an effective Lewis number was proposed to be the governing parameter of the phenomena; it was shown that combustion characteristics such as the fraction burned and the finger width can be expressed in a unified manner using the effective Lewis number. In this paper, an attempt is made to express the experimentally measured smoldering spread velocity as a function of the effective Lewis number.
