Clarke–Riley diffusion flame

In combustion, Clarke–Riley diffusion flame is a diffusion flame that develops inside a naturally convected boundary layer on a hot fuel surface with quiescent oxidizer environment, first studied and experimentally verified by John Frederick Clarke and Norman Riley in 1976.Clarke, J. F., & Riley, N. (1976). Free convection and the burning of a horizontal fuel surface. Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 74(3), 415-431. This problem is an extension of Emmons problem.{{Cite journal | doi = 10.1098/rsbm.2014.0012| title = John Frederick Clarke 1 May 1927 – 11 June 2013| journal = Biographical Memoirs of Fellows of the Royal Society| volume = 60| pages = 87–106| year = 2014| last1 = Bray | first1 = K.
