Recent attempts to model the flow in very hot fire plumes where radiative transport of heat may significantly modify both the dynamics of the flow and the processes of combustion have met with only partial success. This paper gives an account of a model for the flow in a…

From the text:'Among Forest Service activities, prescribed burning, slash disposal and forest fires present the greatest potential for polluting the air. But at this time we do not know what kind of pollution it is, how dangerous it is, how much of it there is, if it is a…

This study was established to determine: (1) the effect of a prescribed burn during the spring and summer seasons on wildlife habitat with particular emphasis on bobwhite quail food plants, and (2) the relation between various site and stand factors of the loblolly pine…

'The corn harvest on Salisbury Plain is gathered mainly by combine harvesters. Much more straw than is required by the farmer is produced, consequently it is not uncommon for some to be burnt where it lies, evenly distributed in the field. The meteorological office roof at…

Five meshes (1/8 to 1 inch) of 16-gauge steel wire fences, 3 feet high, were tested as possible ground fire barriers in 4 fuel types. The 1/8-inch mesh stopped only 1 test fire but retarded others; 1/4-inch mesh retarded some. The results suggest that further trials may be…

Asphalts and wax emulsions have been recommended as protective coatings to help obtain clean, safe burns in slash disposal work. Fuel value determinations in the laboratory indicate that such coatings add little to the fuel value of slash.
