This paper reports annual result of 'Research on Flame Spread Mechanism of Fuel Droplets' in JFY2006, performed by a combustion research team in ISS Science Project Office of JAXA. In this study, flame spread mechanism of fuel droplet array was investigated based on the past research results. Especially, the effects of pre-vaporization of fuel droplets were investigated through numerical simulation and microgravity experiments employing a drop shaft.
