Can a spreading flame over electric wire insulation in concurrent flow achieve steady propagation in microgravity?

Concurrent flame spread over electric wire insulation was studied experimentally in microgravity conditions during parabolic flights. Polyethylene insulated Nickel-Chrome wires and Copper wires were examined for external flow velocities ranging from 50 mm/s to 200 mm/s. The experimental results show...
