The invention relates to a flammable liquid planar free-flowing combustion simulation experimental device and method. The device comprises an oil supply system, a rogue system, an overflow system anda test system. The flammable liquid is pre-placed in an oil drum, and is flown into a flow surface tray through a peristaltic pump, a silicone hose and a steel pipe buffer tub for ignition and burning, a thermocouple tree of the test system, a camera, a bonded thermocouple, a radiant heat flow meter and an infrared thermal imager are employed to perform experiment data and image collection, and are connected with a multi-channel data collection instrument for remote data transmission, real-time display and control so as to achieve measurement of parameters such as flow burning areas, temperatures, heat radiation and the flame heights, and through change of the leakage parameters, material cushion and flow surface angles, the flammable liquid planar free-flowing combustion simulation experimental device and method are high in experiment efficiency, safe and controllable, simple to operate, convenient to use and accurate in measurement, and can develop planar free-flowing combustion state research of different substances, different flow surface types and different flow angles.
