This paper describes the results of examining the influence of radiative heat transfer on turbulent natural convection above fires in an atmosphere of constant potential temperature, under both the 'opaque' and 'transparent' approximations. It turns out that on the basis of the over-all approximations introduced in this investigation, the former case reduces to that of no radiative transfer. For the latter case, the initial fire size, the energy release rate (initial temperature difference) and the absorption coefficient have been regarded as independent parameters. The solution curves presented cover a range over which these parameters are expected to vary in practice.
